In addition to the Shifters not being in the SR Companion I also noticed that options for Free Spirits character was not there either.
I remember them from back in 3rd and 4th Edition and they were offering an interesting option for a different play style and I'd love to see them back (both Regular and Insect Spirits option...heck even a Shedim cool be interesting option).
Not sure if there are plans for them down the road (I do hope so), otherwise anyone had though about a quick fan version?
