greates advantage is that since astral combat is handled like melee combat,
the "friends in melee" rule applies, and so even lvl 1 or 2 watchers are
_really_ helpful. And Shamans should bring with 'em spirits as well (were
possible to summon before).
So even your Charisma-4-Shaman can go into battle with 8 spirits, plus
himself, plus (maybe) an ally. Did that, liked the -4 TNM, liked the enemy's
+4TNM. Liked the shocked face of my GM :-)
