Fate's Assistant

At level 3 when you choose this subclass, you are given a choice of how Fate's Assistance will be present. Over time, it will grow stronger as you get closer to fulfilling your destiny. 

You gain a devoted fiendish companion to aid you on your journey to fulfil your destiny. This loyal creature, is directly linked to your growth and adapts with multiple forms. Collaborating with your DM, you make choices about its design and witness its evolving strength. It can not equip items and has no Attunement slots. 

It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action.

At level 3, your connection to your companion gives you an innate connection to them that grows with strength over time. When you gain your Companion at level 3, you may cast spells of Self and Touch Range to your Destined Companion as long as it is within 15 ft. from you. This increases by 15 ft. at each of the following levels: level 6, level 10, and level 14.

At the end of your next Long Rest, it turns into a Tiny sized egg and counts as an object where it stays that way for one day. It appears in an unoccupied space on the ground within 5 ft from you or the closest possible space it can. It has AC: 5 and HP: 12, and stands 1 ft tall. After your next Long Rest it hatches and returns back to its natural form. If it is destroyed while in egg form it will regenerate at the after one day as an egg again.
