Kit

Level 1

You can use and gain the benefits of a kit. See the <u>Kits</u> chapter of Draw Steel: Heroes for more information.

You and your companion both gain the benefits of the kit, with the following exceptions:

  • Only you can use the kit's signature ability, not your companion.
  • Your companion is always armed to the teeth. When choosing or changing a kit, your companion can choose between the melee damage bonus provided by the kit (if any) or a melee damage bonus of +0/+0/+4.

Beasthearts and Magic Treasure

Level 1

Consumables

Your companion can't use every consumable, but with your help, they can benefit from an edible or drinkable consumable, such as a Healing Potion. While using a kit, your companion can also benefit from a consumable that enhances a weapon, such as a Lachomp Tooth. When you use one of these kinds of consumables while you are adjacent to your companion, you can grant the benefit to your companion instead of yourself. You must take the action type required to use the consumable; no action is required of your companion.

Trinkets

Your companion can't use trinkets that are designed to be worn by bipeds (such as cloaks, masks, and hats) or require words or gestures to activate. However, your companion can benefit from one necklace, pendant, collar, or other trinket with the Neck keyword that doesn't require any action to activate, such as a Necklace of the Bayou or one of the new magic trinkets presented in this document.

You companion doesn't need to wear their trinket around their neck: a condor might wear a necklace wrapped around a talon, and a gelatinous sphere might carry it suspended inside their body!

Leveled Items

Although your companion can't wield a sword, they can benefit from a magic blade! When you wield and gain the benefits of a leveled weapon, armor, implement, or other item, your companion gains those same benefits as if they were wielding the treasure.
