I am especially captivated by Kira, the half-elf duelist, but I’m sure you’ll have your new favorite character and adventure hook. ![]() If that seems like a lot of characters to manage and create backstories for, then the next section is custom-made for you! Sidekick CharactersĮach of the new sidekick types have been fleshed out with a well-developed character so they can be easily inserted into your game. The supplement also includes spells for the casters among the sidekick options so you have a nice variety without facing an overwhelming number of choices, which is really important for ease and efficiency during combat situations.įrom these options, I could see a PC and a DMPC each having a sidekick, and then you have a full party! I also like that these are more specific as they will be better positioned to add a lot of value to a PC’s mechanics and abilities. The Sidekicksīut on to the sidekicks! We have nine new sidekick types in this supplement, which is a great addition to the three from the Essentials Kit and fills many needed gaps. These instructional parts of the supplement balance brevity and clarity. Lane goes on to break down the basic mechanics around the sidekicks’ abilities, which I think would be incredibly helpful for someone who (like me!) tends to play a select type of class and may not be as familiar with all the various weapons and abilities of classes that don’t resonate with them in the same way. In short, the sidekick enhances your PC, but the PC remains the hero. ![]() The how-to’s of running a sidekick were minimal in the Essentials Kit, and I appreciate the clarity this piece adds to those possibilities. One of my favorite parts of The Essentials: Sidekicks Expanded is the time Lane takes at the beginning to set up the purpose of sidekicks and how they both add something new to your D&D table and maintain the game’s collaborative spirit. This supplement sets out to add more options, variety, and flexibility to the new sidekick mechanics in 5e, and it thoroughly accomplishes all of those goals. ![]()
