[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7625862, member: 6779196"] Not that I know of, but we can gather some information about what they’ll probably look like from the UA and from Chris Perkins’ comments about it from the DnD Beyond interview about the Starter set. He said the feedback on the UA was overwhelming positive, but clear that people wanted them to be even more streamlined, and that they were surprised by all the the interest in Sidekicks as an option for players to actually play as. He also mentioned that in the Essentials Kit, they are simpler than they were in the UA, and that when they level up the rules tell you exactly what they gain - how much their HP increases by, what new abilities they gain or spells they learn, etc. so you don’t have to make any build decisions for them. Also reiterated that you don’t track XP for Sidekicks, they just level up when their PC levels up. Oh, and that the DM and player are supposed to work out between each other who will control the Sidekick in combat. [/QUOTE]
