Player Bonding

When players consistently role play establishing a connection with another player in gameplay they have the option to establish a bond. This may be simply establishing a regular routine where one player is helping another in a consistent way.

When 2 or more players establish a bond they gain a Bonding Die. A player can establish a bond with more than one other player, but they can only use one Bonding Die with each player they are bonded with.

A Bonding Die is 1d4 that can be used in one of the following ways as a Bonus Action:

  • Add 1d4 to the bonded player's Saving Throw if they are within 5 feet.
  • Add 1d4 to the bonded character's ability test if they are within 5 feet.
  • Reduce an attack roll targeting their bonded ally by 1d4 if they are within 5 feet of the bonded player or the enemy attacking the bonded player.
