Ever wanted a cute pet to keep you company on your adventures? A fierce demon to aid you in battle? Or maybe a slave that follows you around?

Roach’s Pet & Companion mod provides 64 unique companions to aid your characters in battle or just for company.

=========================== FEATURES ===========================

• 64 unique companions of all types: Pets, demons, undead, voidwoken, aids and slaves that follow their owner around.
• Each Player character can have a companion.
• Most companions can join their owner in battle but you can choose for them to remain passive.
• Companions level up alongside their owner.
• Companions will go invisible when their owner is sneaking or invisible to keep the immersion.
• There are three tiers of companions (Low, mid and high) each having three different price classes.
• There are three traders, one in Fort Joy, one in the Undertavern in Driftwood and one in Arx, each sells an increasingly higher tier of companions (as well as the lower tier that came before)
• You can insure your companion to get it resurrected free of charge at one of the traders, if it happens do perish.
• You can temporarily store your companion at any of the traders if you want to go around without them for a while.
• There are around a 100 unique companion names that are randomly assigned.
• Should not conflict with any other mod or story element (Do let me know if it does)

=========================== NOTES ===========================

• Removing the character from your party will also remove the companion and money will be lost, so make sure to get your money back from the trader if you want to swap out party members.
• Well most companions can join their owner in battle it won’t necessarily be very balanced. Some companions will be very strong and others very weak and I changed no stats (So the plague doctor for example will not have any specific skills)
• All companions that can join battle should have battle logics and animations but let me know if you run in to issues.
• You have the ability to turn off random names (Not everyone wants their slave to have an identity 😉 )
• Companions are immune to death fog for the sake of it being a pain otherwise. (Only really a thing when the owner character is an undead)
• You are able to unlock all companion tiers for all traders in the options section of the dialog. This gives you access to all companions right from the start.
• I have not tested this mod in multiplayer, technically if both have (or at least the host has) the mod then I don’t think there will be a problem but let me know if it works or not. 🙂
• It’s hard to test every companion and every scenario but so far all problems have been fixed that were found. Let me know if any bugs pop up.
• You can use my mod to add new companions if you so desire but let me know before hand and don’t take full credit. (There is a “How to add companions” section in the story goal Init)

• Enable it in the main menu (Under mods).
