i have some questions about Creatures summoneds and companions.

When i call my summoned companion

Thought Phantom
Medium aberrant magical beast
Summoned Creature

HP your bloodied value; Healing Surges none, but you can expend a healing surge for the thought phantom if an effect allows it to spend one
Defenses your defenses -2, not including any temporary bonuses or penalties
Speed 5

Vanish into the Void Aura 2

You gain a +2 power bonus to Stealth checks while you are in the aura. The thought phantom is invisible, so it has total concealment and combat advantage against any creature that cannot see it somehow.

Standard Action (psychic) At-Will

Attack: Melee 1 (one creature); your level + 3 vs. Will

Hit: 1d8 + your Charisma modifier damage, and ongoing 5 psychic damage (save ends).

Minor Action At-Will 1/round

Effect: The thought phantom either walks, shifts, runs, stands up, squeezes, or crawls.

Opportunity Action At-Will

Trigger: An enemy adjacent to the thought phantom hits you.

Effect: You become invisible until the start of your next turn.

This was a deliberate design decision going into 4E to curb the power and screen time of "Army of Me" characters. The design intent is that the player with a summoned creature or animal companion only takes a little bit longer to complete their turn than everyone else at the table, as opposed to 3.x, where a Druid or Wizard with a lot of summons could take longer for their turn than the rest of the party combined because each summon received a full suite of actions.

If you want to fire and forget your summons, there are a number of Druid and Wizard summons that have "instinctive actions" that they perform if you have not given them any commands on your turn. Be warned, the instinctive actions on the Wizard summons also have some sort of negative effect on the summoner.

Most animal companions, Fey Beast Tamer included, take their move action when you do (both of you move together in one action). All other actions use your action of the same type (you want it to pick something up, that's your Minor action for the turn, etc.).

If you have a summoned creature and you spend a standard action, you have to choose whether you will use one of your powers or if the summoned critter uses one of its powers. Only one of you gets to attack.
