We've shown you the tiger, the beetle, the cat, and even the dragon hatchling. The pets are well covered, but we haven't much touched on the sidekicks side of things yet. So today, we'll take a look at the bard from Pets & Sidekicks.
Whether they are regaling the heroes with tales of their bravery (or lack thereof), or suggesting that others toss a coin to their Witcher, fantasy tales often feature bards who accompany the adventurers in a support role. Other sidekicks include warriors, wizards, sages, experts, crafters, and more.
Pets & Sidekicks brings you rules for allies, adversaries, pets, and companions who can level up alongside your characters.
The stat block above shows you the bard's unique heroic features. However, that's not the full story!

Brave Sir Robin ran away,
Bravely ran away away.
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about,
And gallantly he chickened out.

The stat block above shows you the bard's unique heroic features. However, that's not the full story!
- Like you, a heroic companion it levels up and gains hit dice, hit points, and proficiency bonuses.
- At every odd level it gets to choose a combat training option like Attack Enhancement, First Blood, New Combat Maneuver, New Innate Spell, or New Spell Slot.
- At levels 1, 4, 8, and 10 it gains heroic features which are listed in the stat block and which are unique to the creature.
- Or it can choose from a menu of about 30 general heroic features like Awe-Inspiring, Dreadful Aspect, Fast Movement, Icky, Thunderous Stomp, and more.
