COMPANION NAME

Work with the GM to decide what kind of animal you have as your companion. Give them a name and draw or
attach a picture of them in the space above. Then create two Experiences for your companion based on their
training and the history you have together. Finally, describe their method of dealing damage (their standard
attack) and record it in the “Attack & Damage” section. Their damage starts at d6 and their range starts at Melee.

add an applicable Companion Experience to the roll. On a success with Hope, if your next action builds on their
success, you gain advantage on the roll.
