Reliable Talent as a rogue means he can't roll less than a 10, so that means his minimum stealth check is 25, and max with a nat 20 is 35, so when Pass without a Trace is up, his minimum roll is 35 and his max is 45.

[@4D4plus4is4D8]

Doty's second death really illustrates the problem with the D&D companion systems - they don't want to give you a companion that's approximately as strong as you are, because that will make you twice as powerful as everyone else in your party. So instead they give you one like Doty, or Trinket, who is decently balanced for the group of players, but can't survive in a high level combat situation. The only reason Trinket is still around is that Vex rarely brings him out, and if he drops to zero he pops back into the gem. If he was in every fight and had a chance of dying, she'd be going through bears like they were single-use disposables.

[@mischa2643]

Yeah. Clone a Druid or Paladin with guidance and you're on freaking fire.

[@SynchronizorVideos]

Which is why, if you want a companion, you should just roll & play two characters. That's what we do in our campaigns (though admittedly we're a fairly small group).

[@RDR911]

Synchronizor yeah I'm not about to let one of my players literally double in power over everyone else...

[@SynchronizorVideos]

You'll have to make that call depending on your group. Our group isn't very competitive, so if someone wants to go to the effort of keeping track of two characters, they're welcome to. And like I said, we're a small group, 2 - 3 players plus the DM, so it's nice to have someone play an extra character to round the party out a little more.

[@FuzzyKayna]

Agreed. It can also work in a larger party depending on the setting and the feel of the game. I was in a game once with a party made up of two rogues, a bard, a wizard, a cleric, and my druid. Aside from the fact that the ceric was armored we were all pretty squishy. I was allowed a particularly powerful animal companion due to plot reasons and it was the closest thing to a melee tank our party had at our early levels.

In my campaigns I remember details way better that what I had for dinner yesterday (or, on one occasion, how much tea did I ever drank in that session).
