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 common branch of combat are, in actuality, "tamers" or even "summoners" depending on the nature of their pet.

Call Pet

Choose a pet category when you take this branch from the list below. Your pet inherits your initiative order, level, potency and control. It takes its turn right after you, and uses its basic weapon attack 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.
