Player Companions

Updated July 2026

Open Legend only. Companions aren't available yet for other systems.

Scope note: bringing a companion into a live session on the Initiative Tracker isn't available yet — that part of the feature is still being built. This guide covers everything that's live today: adding, viewing, and removing a companion on your character sheet.

A companion is a wolf, drone, familiar, or other ally tied to one of your characters — built from the same 18-attribute point-buy system as a player character, using Open Legend's Companion feat. Your character can have as many companions as you like.

How to add a companion

Open your character's sheet and scroll down to the Companions section, below Sharing.
Tap + Add.
Give your companion a name and concept, just like creating a character.
Spend its attribute points. A companion's budget is smaller than a starting character's and scales with your own character's level — the higher your level, the more your companion can do.
Review and save. Your companion now appears in the Companions section of your character's sheet.

You can add an avatar for your companion right after creating it, the same way you would for a character.

Viewing a companion

Tap a companion's row to open its own sheet — name, concept, avatar, attributes, and HP, Guard, Toughness, and Resolve. It's a lighter view than a full character sheet: there's no Sharing section and no Duplicate option, since a companion isn't shared or duplicated independently of the character it belongs to.

A companion doesn't have its own Level — its power comes from your character's level at the time you built it, so you won't see a level shown anywhere on it.

Removing a companion

Open the companion's own sheet and tap Remove Companion. Confirm in the dialog that appears. This removes only that companion — your character and any other companions stay exactly as they are.

Companions don't appear on your main Characters list. They only show up nested under the character they belong to — this keeps your character count accurate and avoids mixing up companions with your actual roster.

Adding a companion doesn't check that you've purchased the Companion feat. There's no feat-tracking in the app yet, so the "+ Add" button is always available. It still costs real attribute points to build one, so it isn't a free stat block — just something to keep in mind if you're playing strictly by the book with your GM.

A companion's HP bar is the only stat shown in the list row. Guard, Toughness, and Resolve are there too — just one tap away, on the companion's own sheet.
