With that said, I feel in any home game a GM <i>should</i> allow them to stack for level if it comes up. </p>
<p>However, it's mostly an academic matter since the ability is so weak that you'd never actually use it in actual play. You will <i>always</i> have better things to do than spend 8 hours creating the corpse companion, and they're so fragile they rarely last more than one combat encounter.</p>As written they're the same ability, and they don't say they stack for levels so they don't stack.

It's not a terribly potent minion though, so I could see someone houseruling that it's one per source, or that the two instances of corpse companion stack. The archetypes don't reference any other system that would provide clarification.</p>As it's written, you can only have one.

Looking it over, one option is Corpse Bond (Su)

[Spoiler omitted] But my character already has a Corpse Bonded skeleton, and that description states:
<br />
Corpse Companion (Su)[Spoiler omitted]</p>
<p>So what I'm wondering is if the single Corpse Companion restriction applies to both class features or just 'once' for each class feature.</p>
