Path of the Companion

When you take this path at 3rd level, you can swear an oath of protection over a friendly creature. The friendly creature becomes your 'companion' until you swear this oath in favor of another creature. Both you and your companion receive benefits from entering this social contract.

Oath of Companionship

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can swear an oath of protection over a friendly creature upon the completion of a long rest. If you do so, the creature is marked as your 'companion' until you use this feature again. Both you and the creature receive benefits from swearing this oath. For the duration of your rage, your companion can take the dodge action as a bonus action when they end their movement within 10 feet of you. Additionally for the duration of your rage, you can use your reaction to make a single attack against a creature when it strikes your companion.

Evasive Guidance

Beginning at 6th level, you can assist your companion in avoiding damaging effects. If you succeed on a dexterity saving throw to avoid half damage within 10 feet of your companion, your companion receives the benefits of the evasion feature for the same effect.

Protector at Death's Door

Beginning at 10th level, your dedication to protecting your companion allows you to save them from death's grasp. If you are able to see your companion and they are reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to move your full walking speed. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. If you end this movement within 5 feet of what downed your companion, you can make a single melee attack as part of the same reaction. This ability can be used once per short rest.

Additionally, while you are within 10 feet of your companion and they have been reduced to 0 hit points, a creature must first succeed on a wisdom saving throw (DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your constitution modifier) when targeting your companion with an attack. On a failure, the creature must target you instead. On a success, the creature is unaffected.

Bond of Brothers

Starting at 14th level, your bond with your companion allows you to receive some of the healing energy that your companion receives. While you are within 10 feet of your companion and you are raging, you receive half (rounded up) of all healing they receive.
