Wildbond
One's Best Friend
Instead of focusing on their personal growth, some choose to share their time, training and effort with their pets. While these people are sometimes called "masters", most of those specialized in this branch of combat are, in actuality, "tamers" or even "summoners" depending on the nature of their pet.
Call Pet
Choose a pet category and a damage type (physical or magical) when you take this branch from the list below. Your pet does not count toward your summon limit. It inherits your level and aptitudes. During its turns, it has one action and it uses its basic weapon attack by default unless you tell it to do something else.
When your pet falls below 1 health, it will run away and hide if possible. In this case, it will not be available for combat for (d4 + 4) hours. Otherwise, normal summoning rules apply.
Techniques in the command category are used during your own turns. However, they affect your pet's next turn within up to 1 minute.
