Companions

Optional Rule Companions follow the party into great danger, even the Shadowcurse. Companions are a great option for games with fewer players (1-3) to help bolster the party's effectiveness.

Number of Companions

The Party can have only one companion.

Companions Level

A companion's Level cannot exceed the PCs Level.

At the end of a session, a companion may Level Up if they are able.

Finding Companions

The PCs can only find companions when the GM allows it.

Generally this would be either at the start of the campaign or after a companion or PC perishes. You make companions with the Player Character Creation process.

If nobody can cast Heal Wounds, consider getting a companion who can.

Logistics and Death

Designate a player to track the companion's abilities and control them mechanically both in and out of combat, while the GM roleplays the companion.

If a PC dies, they may choose to have the companion become their new PC.
