 BONDED BUDDIES

As connected companions, these warriors embody

raw supernatural power fueled by the wilds of nature.
Wildlings are erce protectors of their clans and
homelands.

Feral at Heart
Wild beasts are dangerous even after training with
experts. A Wildling is no exception. A Wildling may come
from a settlement or a city. Once drawn into the
wilderness, they tend to lose their domestication gaining
ferocity from their companion.

Companion Advancement
Similar to their humanoid friend, companions also level
up. Talents can be shared based on talent rolls or by choice.
Use the Shadowdark rules for Level Advancement.
Companions roll their own hit point advancements based
on the Wildling’s hit dice.
