Behind many heroes is another hero whose greatness comes from the support and love they offer. Haktos had his beloved Perynes, Renata was accompanied by her servant Karados, and Siona sailed with her devoted crew. Like these partners, you are great and make others great. Consider the Companion Relationships table when determining your legendary connection. Any relationship with another player's character requires that player's consent. Additionally, you gain the following traits.
Boon Aura. Your allies within 5 feet of you have advantage on Saving Throws against being Frightened or Charmed, provided you aren't Incapacitated.
Companion's Protection.. When a creature you can see within 5 feet of you is hit by an Attack Roll, you can use your Reaction to cause the attack to hit you instead. Once you use this trait, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

| 1 | Another character is my lover or dearest friend. |
| 2 | Another character is my sibling. |
| 3 | Another character is my parent or child. |
| 4 | Another character is a champion of my god. |
| 5 | After admiring another character from afar, I've finally won a position by their side. |
| 6 | I want nothing more than for another character to recognize my devotion and love me in return. |
Sidekicks as Lifelong Companions
The Companion Relationships table references "Other Characters" in each of the entries, with the general assumption being that the relationships should be directed at other Player Characters. They could, however, instead be pointed towards NPCs. This being the case, at the DM's option, the Lifelong Companion Gift could allow a player character to begin play with a Sidekick. This could be used to represent a squire, a faithful animal companion, an emissary of the gods, or any number of other beings. If this option interests you, ask your DM and work with them to determine the nature of your Boon Companion.
