Companions

Companions are non-human models — robots and creatures — that can be bonded to a Champion in any crew. ^{[Folio pg. 97]}

Acquiring Companions

Any Champion (including Leaders) may take one of two Companion Perks when a crew is created or when taking the Recruit Story Action. No Champion may have more than one Companion Perk.

Perk	What it does
Roboteer	Choose one model from the Robot Companions list.
Creature Tamer	Choose one model from the Creature Companions list.

Taking a Companion Perk has no SPECIAL requirements. The chosen Companion's Rating is added to the Champion's Rating on the Crew Roster.

Using Companions

• Any number of Champions in a crew may each take a Companion Perk.
• Companions are ignored during the Treat the Wounded step of the Story Phase.
• When making an Intelligence Test for a Companion, you may use the Intelligence value of the bonded Champion, provided that Champion is on the Battlefield.
