Animal Companions

Animal Companions are pets which can give you some small benefit to help you with your adventure. This benefit may be transportation, fetching arrows, hunting, or perhaps scouting. The benefits depend upon the animal companion that you have.

Animal Companions are not like normal characters. Unlike the wild creatures a Ranger might bond with as familiars, animal companions from the Livery are not full combatants. They have only the basic stats needed to support their companion benefits. The animal companion might be able to be captured, killed, or lost depending upon the GM however, and should your character die, your companion dies. You are not limited to how many animal companions you can have, however you can only bring two with you at a time - the rest would have to be boarded.

Boarding Animal Companions

The animal companions that you can purchase in the livery all have a listed boarding price. For any other creatures, the cost is 1 shilling per pound of their total weight. 

Using Animal Companions

All animal companions come with a list of benefits that instantly apply. They can be placed on the map and used as typical characters, just with a smaller selection of stats. A ranger's skills and abilities for familiars can also work with them within reason and as decided by the GM.
