Folk Legend

Folk Hero

You are a living legend—your adventures have only added to the tall tales surrounding you, stories that grow grander with every retelling. The stories surrounding you have inspired plucky young upstarts hoping to follow in your footsteps. Whenever you hide, rest, or recuperate among other commoners you may choose to take on a sidekick (use the statistics of a Scout). You may only have one sidekick at a time. Your sidekick follows you indefinitely and obeys your orders to the best of their ability. If your sidekick dies you cannot take on another for at least 7 days.   In addition, if you gain a class level while you have a sidekick and your new character level is at least 9th, your sidekick advances alongside you and uses the statistics of a Veteran. Your sidekick must have accompanied you while you gained at least half of the experience points used to gain your new class level (or if not using experience points, at the GM’s discretion).
