Familars and Animal Companions

With the clear exception of adventurers who need or like to act alone, the vast majority seek companions to help carry the burden of their missions, either to help a cause or conquered sympathy, or by paths that crossed with common goals. Strength is often in numbers.

Although groups of humanoid adventurers are more common, it is not uncommon for adventurers to have other different companies, a few have companies such as familiars linked to their family or even conquered through pacts and deals, or even animals whose essence manages to connect to that of the adventurers.

More than creatures for a function, familiars and animal companions gain synergy with their partners, going through difficulties together and achieving an ever greater ability to act as a team.

The Familiars

Summoning creatures is typically a magical act that creates a simulacrum of an existing creature through the caster's magical power. The mystery of Invocation deals with utilizing the operator's magical energy in conjunction with spiritual energy, creating temporary forms that can be animated through the imprint of the operator's own vitality into these magical manifestations. Every invocation is a simulacrum of something existing, or the modification of it through the manipulation of this magical energy.

However, summoning a familiar is a different invocation, familiars are magical creatures, whether celestial, infernal or fey, and can originate from the Material, Spiritual and even Celestial Realm. These creatures approach spellcasters by resonance with their actions, causing an infernal familiar to rarely approach a good spellcaster or even a celestial familiar to approach an evil spellcaster. This is mainly determined by the conjurer's actions, as they reflect on his character, something that family members can quickly become aware of. Finally, fae familiars can approach anyone, greatly reflecting their oscillating, chaotic and completely unpredictable character.

Summoning a familiar is a step full of benefits and risks. Although the summoning can be done simply, as a mere cantrip, a conjurer is able to imbue arcane energy during the summoning, making the manifestation of this familiar much more powerful than that of a mere cantrip. Such an act has its risks, a familiar that has mana, or ki, imbued in its existence takes on an enhanced physical form, which grants it additional capabilities but also additional risks.

A familiar that is imbued with magical energy while it can accomplish much more, it also becomes susceptible to much more, at the risk of even true death. When true death afflicts a familiar, its summoner is marked by a taint caused by that death. This taint prevents other familiars from being summoned, leaving the summoner to find a way to compensate for such a loss among familiars of the same origin. Such a compensation can be something extremely complicated and without danger, but it can also be a deadly mission given based on familiar, fey, celestial or fiend type temperament. Thus, although there are benefits, they are linked to greater responsibility.

Characteristics of Familiars

Familiars are magical creatures, whether they are celestial, infernal or fey, and can originate from the Material, Spiritual and even Celestial Realms. When a spellcaster summons a familiar, he is making a pact with that creature, in exchange for its mana, or ki, the familiar does its caster's will.

• Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls his own initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar cannot normally attack, but it can perform other actions as usual.

• When a familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving no physical body behind. It reappears after you cast this spell again.

• While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you gain a benefit based on the familiar's form, see the Familiar Link table for more information.

• While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. In addition, as an action, you can see through the familiar's eyes and hear through its ears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses the familiar possesses. During this period, you will be Blind and Deaf to your own senses.

• As an action, you can temporarily dismiss your familiar. It disappears into a dimensional bag where it awaits your summons. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an action, while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you.

• You cannot have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you already have a familiar, you instead cause your existing familiar to adopt a new form. Choose one of the ways from the list above. Your familiar transforms into the chosen creature.

• Finally, when you cast a spell with range of touch, your familiar can transmit the spell as if it cast it. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you and must use its reaction to transmit the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, the familiar makes the necessary attack roll.

• The final death of a Familiar can happen due to some effects with a taint, causing new familiars not to accept the summon. A spellcaster bearing the taint of a familiar's true death must regain the creatures' trust before he can summon a familiar again. When the spellcaster with the taint casts the spell, he expends all resources as normal, but the spell has no effect.

Final Death

A familiar can meet true death or final death in a few ways, including (but not limited to) the following: Death from exhaustion, death from effects such as the disintegrate spell, death from true damage.

Conjuration at Higher Levels

The cantrip summon familiar can be performed normally as a cantrip or at higher levels as a spell, consuming mana points, or ki, which amplify the power of the summoning when performed at higher levels. The familiar's maximum casting level is equal to the maximum spell level the caster is capable of casting. For each spellcasting level above trick, 1 mana point, or ki, is required, and when you cast a familiar using mana points, or ki, the familiar receives some benefits based on the level of the conjuration made. This mana or ki cost cannot be reduced. A familiar must feed normally like the creature whose form it was cast from, and in addition to that, it requires a point of mana or ki at the end of each long rest granted by its summoner. If it doesn't gain that point of mana or ki, the familiar gains a level of Exhaustion that can be recovered by spending a point of its summoner's mana or ki. Accumulating levels of Exhaustion in this way can cause a familiar's Final Death.

Animal Companion

The Hunters of the Beast Friend's Enclave specialize in synergy with those animals that are found, recruited, trained, and which inevitably end up creating a bond far greater than that of a simple pet. Sharing the pains and victories, feeling through each other's senses, much more than that is possible when these two essences intertwine.

It is not uncommon that many of these Hunters prefer animal company to the company of humanoid creatures, this may be reflected precisely because the connection between the two is so strong that thoughts and feelings are shared, causing a supernatural harmony to exist.

When an animal companion is found by a Best Friend and the connection established between the two goes beyond the one he has with other creatures, as if they were a single soul divided into two bodies, this allows both to train each other, knowing their abilities. capabilities and their limits, often managing to cover these limits by working together.

Just as a Hunter evolves in its characteristics when receiving new levels, part of this is reflected in its animal companion, as it participates in adventures and shares part of its essence with the hunter.

Features of Animal Companions

An Animal Companion sheet is based on an animal in the form of a Large beast or smaller that has a maximum Challenge Rating of 1. The beast has the statistics of a normal member of its species, with changes due to the bond with the hunter and also characteristics that are obtained through the evolution of the hunter.

In addition to the beast base traits, the animal companion gains the following traits or modifications;

• Your animal companion uses your proficiency bonus instead of its own.

• Your animal companion gains proficiency in two matching skills of your choice and all saving throws.

• Your animal companion obeys your commands as best it can. It rolls its own initiative, but you determine its actions, decisions, attitudes and so on. If you are Incapacitated or absent, your animal companion acts on its own.

• The Companion gains Runes at the same progression as a normal character based on their Hunter's character level. Check out the Rune Progression table in Chapter 5: Customization.

• The creature's Wisdom becomes that from the Wisdom column of the Animal Companion's Enhancements table, or its own if that is greater. Check out the Animal Companion Upgrades table.

• It gains a bonus to its Intelligence equal to the value in the Intelligence column of the Animal Companion Enhancements table.

• Its Armor Class receives a bonus based on the AC column of the Animal Companion Enhancements table.

• Your Animal Companion receives traits based on your character level.

• When traveling for an hour or more, you and your animal companion can move stealthily at a normal pace.

• Whenever you gain the Enhancement class feature, your animal companion can also increase one ability score of your choice by +2, or two +1 scores. Your animal companion cannot increase an ability score above 20 using this feature unless its description specifies otherwise. Alternatively, your animal companion can obtain an Enhancement that makes sense to him with the GM's permission.

As the Hunter reaches new levels, part of this is reflected in training with the Animal Companion, which receives characteristics according to this level advancement, as shown in the Animal Companion Improvements table.

Death of an Animal Companion

If your animal companion is killed, you can spend 8 hours of work and 25 gp worth of rare herbs and exquisite foods to awaken your companion's spirit and create a new body for it, returning it to life. You can return an animal companion to life this way, even if it doesn't have any body parts. If you use this ability to return a former animal companion to life while you have a current animal companion, your current companion will leave you and be replaced by the restored companion.

Familiars and Animal Companion Improvements

Below are descriptions of the characteristics of familiars and animal companions:

• Combat Enhancement. The familiar gains a benefit between increased damage die, which causes its attack to increase by 1 on the damage scale or take 1 additional damage-type die from your choice, or crit range decrease, specified next to the trait.

• Mystic Enhancement. The familiar gains +1 to its casting DCs and +2 to Charisma.

• Vital Enhancement. The familiar benefits from its caster's magical ability, receiving half of its caster's maximum hit points added to its hit points. Additionally, a familiar's hit points can be restored with an action, recovering 1 hit point for every 2 mana points, or 1 ki point, spent.

• Attack. A familiar can attack on its turn a number of times equal to the value described. When a familiar gains the ability to attack, it does so with its caster's proficiency bonus plus the appropriate Attribute modifier (Dexterity or Strength) for the creature's attack type. The familiar's attacks deal the normal damage of the creature's attacks, plus its caster's proficiency bonus.
  • Animal companions that already have the multi-attack trait receive each attack as an increment to the number of attacks they already make.

• Multi Ataque. A criatura passa a poder atacar mais de uma vez em sua ação de ataque. Caso ela já tenha essa característica, ela passa a poder fazer um ataque adicional.

• Projeção de Energia. O familiar é capaz de utilizar um ataque em área usando uma ação de ataque. Ele pode realizar essa projeção um número de vezes igual a metade do bônus de proficiência do seu conjurador por descanso longo.

Em uma falha, uma criatura afetada sofre 2d6 de dano igual ao tipo de dano da Emanação Energética, ou metade disso em um sucesso. Uma conjuração de 6º nível tem seu dano aumentado para 4d6 e uma de 9º nível tem seu dano aumentado para 6d6.

• Salvaguarda. O familiar recebe proficiência com uma salvaguarda com a qual seu conjurador seja proficiente.
