Two Adventuring Companion Classes, Seven Subclasses, Six Adventuring Companion Characters, and Supplemental Rules for Animal Companions – Why travel alone when you could have a powerful weaponsmith or an entrancing Way of Words witch at your side? This supplement for duet 5e gaming seeks to answer precisely that rhetorical question with two classes—the witch and the crafter—designed specifically for one-on-one play. You’ll also find unique adventuring companion characters with backstories, optional mechanics like adventuring companion feats, character backgrounds, and optional rules for animal companions.
