Players in Dungeons & Dragons have the strong tendency to want to adopt every random animal they see, bring it on as an animal companion, and have it adventure alongside them. But do pets and animal companions in D&D work that well? Do they have enough hit points to survive your standard run-of-the-mill fireball? Can your cutie little pet contribute meaningfully to the party's efforts? Despite how much D&D players love adopting pets and animal companions, the sad truth is they don't work so well in the game, leading to disappointment and frustration. What we really need is a lightweight ruleset for animal sidekicks in Dungeons & Dragons. In this video, I discuss 5 pitfalls of pets and animal companions in D&D and how our new animal sidekick system, Tamed Companions, can help DMs and players overcome them and have more fun with pets and animal companions in the game.
