Stibbles Codex of Companions is a 5e supplement focusing on lovable party companions for players and GM’s to enjoy. Strengthen your bond with familiars and pets, and discover dozens of fantastical new friends.
With over 150 pages of new content, Stibbles Codex of Companions brings 70+ new low CR monsters to be used as pets, familiars, and helpful little friends. Additional content includes an amazing array of new spells, feats, and game mechanics to experience pets in a whole new way.
Bringing in just a single familiar from Stibbles Codex can lighten the mood in even the darkest of settings, and provide unique friendships to blossom at both the table and in your campaigns!
If you choose to add some new friends to your adventures, each one of them can provide their own abilities to help you overcome even the greatest of challenges. Ranging from Flying Spell Books that cast cantrips during battles to sticky Balls of Ooze that can squeeze into tight spots and eat at metal, every creature has different benefits, and different temperaments.
Do you have what it takes to tame the more… fickle personalities? Stopping a Mimcat from gulping down gold can be a tricky task for sure, but handling the flaming body of a Burnling is an entirely different ordeal.
This content packed addition to your table brings exciting new features that will add depth to animal companions and pets to every session.
70+ New Companions. This book is bursting at the seams with a massive menagerie of companions from a wide variety of environments. No matter where your setting is, you’ll be able to populate alleyways, caverns, inky voids and fantastical forests with creatures that call it home. Sentient gloves, axolotls, ghostly pups and glittering fairies are just the beginning of what Stibbles Codex has in store for you!
New Spells and Feats. In addition to the massive variety of companions, you can also find a bunch of feats and spells to spice up each session. Among the many additions you’ll find spells can bolster your buddies, help with taming new friends, as well as Runesmith’s classics like Egg. One particular feat allows not just Warlocks, but all classes the ability to have more rare allies as familiars (without stepping on your Warlock’s toes). At later levels you can teach your companions commands, tricks and more!
Mechanics for Companion Loyalty. Having a companion isn’t the same as having a sword, and it shouldn’t be treated that way. With this new mechanic, the more time you spend giving your friends the affection they deserve, the more they’re willing to help you! The closest of friends will protect you at any cost. Ignore your buddies and risk losing them… or become the meal they’ve been asking you for.
Personality Table. As an optional rule to make each little buddy feel more personal, we’re creating a table full of temperaments that gives each creature that feeling of unique charm. These temperaments also give the creatures minor benefits, such as more hit points for the gluttons or a faster move speed for more energetic companions.
