Battle Buddy
Not all wizards sit in towers, surrounded by books. Some wizards are drawn to adventure and the thrill of combat. Few take the wizard seriously when he enters the fray, but be wary, for he might have a secret weapon at his side. When a familiar trains alongside their wizard, they become an unexpectedly lethal duo.
You fought alongside your wizard in countless battles. Not only did you watch your master’s back, but you actively distracted opponents, pointed out enemy weaknesses, and handed your master scrolls and other gear. There is no doubt that your wizard owes their life to you, many times over.

They lose all benefit of your help action if they are more than 5 feet away from you.
