Animal Companion Rules for Shadowdark RPG
A good companion can save your life. A bad one can get you killed.
Companions of the Crawl brings simple, flexible animal companion rules to Shadowdark RPG. Befriend beasts, train them to follow commands, manage their morale and needs, and bring them into the dungeon without adding another character sheet to the table.
Inside you’ll find:
- Rules for handlers and Animal Trainers
- Simple downtime rules for teaching new commands
- Common, Uncommon, and Rare commands
- Rules for morale, feeding, and equipment
- Guidance for wild, domesticated, and monstrous companions
- Example companions from rats and mastiffs to bears, griffons, and basilisks
- A new Bird of Prey stat block
- Six companion-themed magic items
Companions keep their normal abilities and instincts. A bear is still a bear. A griffon is still dangerous. And no amount of training guarantees a beast will stand its ground when things go bad.
Train them well. Treat them better. Hope they stay when the dark closes in.
Companions of the Crawl is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
