I'm also confused. Is your Big Band a spirit or a PC? If It's a spirit, It cannot physically fight the opponents, or at least I think that's how it works in game.

Big Band is my fourth PC. He has a Spirit, but is not one, since he has not died. Anyone with an entry in the Characters tab who's mentioned in the active roster is a PC.
