Spellcasting[edit]
At 1st level, you have learned to use the magical essence of nature to cast spells, much as a druid or a ranger does.
- Cantrips (0-Level Spells)
You know one cantrip of your choice from the companion master spell list. At higher levels, you learn additional companion master cantrips of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Companion master table.
When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the companion master cantrips you know with another cantrip from the companion master spell list.
- Preparing and Casting Spells
The Companion master table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your companion master spells. To cast one of your companion master spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of companion master spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the companion master spell list. When you do so, choose a number of companion master spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your companion master level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 5th-level companion master, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Charisma of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of companion master spells requires time in tuning to nature with your spellcasting focuses: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
- Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your companion master spells; your understanding of the nature and how it interacts with animals and people alike. You use your Charisma whenever an companion master spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an companion master spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
- Ritual Casting
You can cast an companion master spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.
- Spellcasting Focus
You can use a druidic focus (see the Adventuring Gear section) as a spellcasting focus for your companion master spells.
Forever Familiar[edit]
At 1st level, you have a strong connection to your familiar, stronger than most people. You learn find familiar spell. This does not count towards your limit of spells that you can prepare each day. You can cast find familiar without material components due to your close connection to your familiar.
You can cast find familiar as a bonus action and without spell slots up to your proficiency bonus + companion master levels per short rest. When you cast find familiar this way, your familiar's size is reduced to tiny and under the effects of enlarge/reduce.
When you cast find familiar on a friendly and willing beast of CR rating of companion master level divided by five (rounded down). That beast becomes your familiar. It loses any multi-attacks, special reaction, and legendary abilities. Its hit points is reduced to your proficiency bonus.
Pet[edit]
At 2nd level, you gain a beast companion, pet, that accompanies you on your adventures and is trained to fight alongside you. Choose a beast that is no larger than Medium and that has a challenge rating of 1/4 or lower or find an already friendly and willing beast of CR rating of companion master level divided by four (rounded down). It looses all of their original stats and gain the pet stat block below. If the original creature's size is medium, their size is reduced to small.
| Pet Stat | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small Beast | |||||
| Armor Class: 12 + PB (natural armor) | |||||
| Hit Points:Charisma modifier + five times your companion master level (the pet has a number of Hit Dice [d8s] equal to your companion master level) | |||||
| Speed: Original beast's speed | |||||
| STR | DEX | CON | INT | WIS | CHA |
| 14 (+2) | 14 (+2) | 15 (+2) | 8 (-1) | 14 (+2) | 11 (+0) |
| Senses: Darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 12 | |||||
| Languages: understands but not speaks the languages you speak | |||||
| Challenge: PB | |||||
| Special Features | |||||
| Choose one feature of the original creature that does not use an action, bonus action, or reaction. If the creature does not have a special feature, their ac is increased by 1 | |||||
| Actions | |||||
| Shred. Melee Weapon attack: your spell attack modifier to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d8 + 2 + PB Piercing damage. | |||||
In combat, the pet acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the pet to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, the beast can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
If the pet has died within the last hour, you can use your action to touch it and expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The pet returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored. When you finish a long rest, you choose a different beast to be your pet. It must be a beast that is no larger than Medium, friendly, and willing beast of CR rating of companion master level dived by three (rounded down).
Friend to all Animals[edit]
At 2nd level, you find it easy to make friends with animals. You learn animal friendship and Beast Bond spells. This does not count towards your limit of spells that you can prepare each day. You can cast them as a ritual even if the spell does not have a ritual tag.
At 6th level, you have an easier time connecting with beast. You learn animal messenger and beast sense spells. This does not count towards your limit of spells that you can prepare each day. You can cast them as a ritual even if the spell does not have a ritual tag.

Ability Score Improvement[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Awaken Pet[edit]
At 5th level, after being with you for a long time, the natural magical energy you give off has "awaken" your pet. Your pet's Intelligence score is increased by 3. Additionally, your pet can speak (poorly) of any language that you know. Pet no longer have to follow your every order but they are always friendly to you.
Your is smart enough to act (mostly) by itself. When you do not give any orders, pet can do the Dodge or Attack action. When you sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the pet to take the Attack action, your pet instead gain advantage to all of their attacks until end of their turn.
You may use a bonus action to command the pet to take the Help action on its turn.
At 9th level, you can use a bonus action to command the beast to take the Dash or Disengage action on its turn.
Evasion[edit]
At 7th level, Your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a blue dragon’s lightning breath or a fireball spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
Magic Empowered Attack[edit]
At 7th level, you give a bit your magic whenever you summon a creature or make a life long bond with a beast. All summons and beast under your command can make their attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Evasive Companion[edit]
At 14th level, you train your team to evade dangerous area of effect attacks. All of your beast and summons under your command gains Evasion. Additionally, they add your proficiency bonus to all saving throws that they make.
Friend to All[edit]

Companions from Another World[edit]
At 20th level, you make close ties with the creatures you summon, to a point that they are willing to help you at no cost. Choose a spell that is 3rd level or lower that you know and that contains "summon" or "conjure" in the name of the spell. You can cast that spell at will.

- Combat Familiar
At 7th level, your familiar is ready for battle. Your Forever familiar gains the following benefits:
- The familiar gains either a flying speed or a swimming speed (your choice) of 40 feet.
- As a bonus action, you can command the familiar to take the Attack action.
- If the familiar forces a creature to make a saving throw, it uses your spell save DC.
- When the familiar takes damage, you can use your reaction to grant it resistance against that damage.
- Healing Familiar
At 13th level, your familiar learns mimic healing spells. Whenever you are healed by a spell that uses dice rolls to determine the amount of hit points restored, your familiar can use their reaction to copy that spell. The copied spell uses your spell casting modifier and only can target and effect you. This spell automatically fails if you are out of the range of the copied spell.
- Awaken Familiar
At 18th level, you finally perfected the ritual to "awaken" your familiar. Your Familiar gains all benefits that your pet received from your class features. Including Awaken Pet.
Humanoid Raising[edit]
You enjoy the more complexity of humanoid relationships. You prefer the civilization over the wilderness.
No. You do not raise a humanoid creature to be your pet. That's too inhuman. Long ago, someone decided to that all branches of companion master should end with raising. Now this branch is stuck with the name Humanoid raising. You don't want to think what it would be like to actually raise a humanoid creature to be your pet. That sounds a lot like having a child and raise them.
- You are Charmed
At 3rd level, you master and learn spells to charm others. Spells containing charm in the name or cause the charm condition counts as companion master's spell list.
- People Person
At 3rd level, you are familiar on how people work. When you make a Charisma (Persuasion) or Charisma (Deception) check, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.
- I am Charming
At 7th level, you gain the ability to massively increase your natural charm. As a bonus action, you cast charm person, without expending a spell slot, and your beauty is off the charts for 1 minute or until your concentration ends (as if you were concentrating on a spell). During this time, you can cast charm person as a bonus action on each of your turns, without expending a spell slot.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short rest.
At 18th level, you can replace charm person with charm monster
- I Charm you Back
At 13th level, you learn to redirect charming magic back to the user. Whenever you or a creature you can see within 120 feet of you succeeds on a saving throw against being charmed, you can use your reaction to force a different creature you can see within 120 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. If the save fails, the target is charmed by you for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a successful save.
Additionally, yourself, your beast, and your summons are immune to being charmed.
- Blackmail
At 18th level, you gain the ability to weave dark magic into your words and tap into a creature’s deepest fears.
As an action, you magically whisper a phrase that only one creature of your choice within 30 feet of you can hear. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. It automatically succeeds if it doesn’t share a language with you or if it can’t hear you. On a successful saving throw, your whisper sounds like unintelligible mumbling and has no effect.
On a failed saving throw, the target is charmed by you for the next 8 hours or until you or your allies attack it, damage it, or force it to make a saving throw. It interprets the whispers as a description of its most mortifying secret. You gain no knowledge of this secret, but the target is convinced you know it.
The charmed creature obeys your commands for fear that you will reveal its secret. It won’t risk its life for you or fight for you, unless it was already inclined to do so. It grants you favors and gifts it would offer to a close friend.
When the effect ends, the creature has no understanding of why it held you in such fear.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
