Starting at 7th level, your battlefield awareness and connection with your companion grows greater. You gain the ability to send your companion messages and orders as a reaction known as Commands. In order to issue a command to your companion, your companion must be able to hear you, and you must be able to see your companion.
You gain the following Commands which can be issued to your companion:
- Cover. When a creature within 5 feet of your companion takes damage from an effect or attack which only targets that creature, you can use your reaction to have the damage redirected to your companion.
- Dodge. When a creature makes an attack roll against your companion, you can use your reaction to increase the Armor Class of your companion by 5 against that attack roll.
- Distract. When a creature makes an attack roll against another creature within 5 feet of your companion, you can use your reaction to have your companion distract the target, providing advantage on the attack roll.
- Assist. When a creature makes a skill roll within 5 feet of your companion, you can use your reaction to have your companion assist the creature, providing advantage on the skill roll.
- Resist. When your companion has to make a saving throw, you can use your reaction to give your companion advantage on the saving throw.
