An animal companion fights at the ranger's directions.
Rangers choose an animal companion during character creation.
The animal companion does not share Endurance with the ranger, and unconsciousness of one does not imply unconsciousness for the other (apparently this was not true in beta versions). However, should either the ranger or their Animal Companion be knocked Unconscious the other will be afflicted with the Bonded Grief effect (-2 Might, -2 Resolve and -10 Accuracy) until their partner becomes conscious again.
If the ranger dies, so does his animal companion.
Animal companions have high inherent Damage Thresholds that allow them to run interference for their masters.[1] You control animal companions in the same way as other companions. Their icon appears at the bottom right corner of their ranger's icon. On area transitions they always appear immediately next to their ranger.[2]
