Not in their inspiration but in their implementation. Hard to give them spells that aren't at least somewhat related to the druid's bailiwick though. And we've yet to have a model of them having the supernatural abilities inspired by Aragorn without either spells or sucking worse than half-casting. :/

Part of why full-strength Animal Companion for Rangers is such a popular and recurring houserule.
