A BIG feature upgrade on Level Up Gateway this month—monsters, companions and campaign sources are here!

Heroic Companions Choose From An Array Of Heroic Features

While every heroic companion stat block contains a selection of unique heroic features which it gains as it levels up, there are also many general heroic features which can be chosen by any heroic companion, as long as it meets the feature’s prerequisites. Here’s a look at just some of them!

Pets & Sidekicks Contains Nearly 50 New Magic Items

Along with a large collection of animals, monsters, and NPCs who can level up alongside your characters, Pets & Sidekicks contains a wealth of player options. New feats, spells, archetypes (subclasses), equipment, class features, and more allow you to integrate companions into your game seamlessly. Amongst all that material is a wide selection of nearly 50 new magic items!

Get A Pet Tiger And Watch It Level Up In Pets & Sidekicks

Who doesn't want a pet tiger? Well, I suppose you might choose a dragon wyrmling or a bard sidekick or a really nice dog. But assuming that, of the many, many choices of pets and sidekicks in, well, Pets & Sidekicks, you go for a tiger, this is what it looks like--a companion which levels up as you do! And this applies to foes, too--that kobold who escaped in your raid at 1st level might just turn up a few levels later... Pets & Sidekicks is coming to Kickstarter very soon--and, as with all EN Publishing crowdfunders, you'll get the PDF the day the crowdfunder ends, and the print version as soon as the laws of physics and geography allow. Make sure you get notified when it launches here. Of course, the book isn't just pages and pages of pets and sidekicks (though it does have that); there's also player options like subclasses and feats and backgrounds, and new equipment, and a ton of magic items like the collar of disguise, saddle of recall, and awakening gem. Plus pet tricks, traits and flaws, and loyalty rules, this book brings recurring companions, allies, and foes to your D&D and A5E games in a big way!
