Ranger's Companion
You determine its appearance. It is superior to similar beasts
and it gains additional benefits while it is bonded to you. It
obeys your commands as best it can, communicating using
words, sounds, touch, hand gestures, body language and the
like. Your animal companion has the following:
Swim: 40ft
- It shares your initiative roll.
- After a short rest, it can spend Hit Dice to regain hit points. After a long rest, it recovers all lost hit points and regains spent Hit Dice, up to a number of dice equal to half of it’s total number.
- When it starts a turn with 0 hit points, it must make a death saving throw.
- You can try to magically restore it's life if it dies. Or you can obtain another one by spending up to 24 hours to locate and bond with another animal companion that is not hostile to you.
