'''Companions''' will join your party in various ways, most commonly by recruiting them in [[Paris]] or in [[Native]] [[village]]s. Your party can have a maximum of 4 companions in addition to your [[Leader]]; any extra characters must be dismissed before moving. (Some special temporary companions are an exception to this.)

== Native Companions ==
+
== Islanders Recruits ==
  
'''Native companions''' can be recruited by request to the Ruler of a [[Village]], which usually requires 3 [[Standing]]. They can also join through various random events, and can be hired from wandering [[Exposition Recruiter]]s by succeeding a [[speaking challenge]]. Some [[village quests]] involve escorting a native who joins your party temporarily without taking up a character slot.
+
'''Islanders Recruits''' can be recruited by request to the Ruler of a [[Village]]. They can also join your party from certain special locations, encounters or random events.
  
Natives hired from villages have a [[Local]] attribute that makes them reluctant to follow you after a trek. Keeping them will require a successful speaking challenge and the end of the trek, which will clear the attribute.
+
They can be obtained in:
 +
* [[Leader]]-specific [[starting parties]]
 +
* [[Villages]]
 +
* [[Exposition Recruiter]]
 +
* [[Ice Cave]]s
 +
''(Note: the [[Salamander Prince]] can only be obtained in the [[Mole Village]] of the [[Act II]] story expedition.)''
  
''Note: some of the Native character classes have "Elite" variants with unclear effects.''
+
=== Humans ===
 
+
Human Islanders are found in [[Island types#Drylands|Drylands]], [[Island types#Jungle|Jungle]] and [[Island types#Prehistoric|Prehistoric]] maps. Some also appear as starting companions of certain Leaders.
Some Native classes are "generic" and can appear in any tribe:

'''Animal Recruits''' are non-[[humanoid]] trek members.

== Pack Animals ==
+
=== Beasts ===
 
+
{{Beast|Beasts}} are smaller animals that cannot be ridden or use larger equipment. They provide a second die without requiring anything to activate it, and also a bonus die for specified non-Combat challenges. However they have a Beast equipment slot only, and cannot equip Pack Animal-specific items such as [[Saddle]]s (unless they are also Pack Animals, such as the [[Raptor]]).  
'''Pack Animals''' are [[Animal]] companions often selected for their increased carrying [[Capacity]]. They take up a character slot as normal but don't have a [[Loyalty]] attribute, and have a [[Beast]]/[[Pack Animal]] equipment slot instead of a [[Hand]] and [[Body]] slot. One pack animal per party can be ridden by your Leader using a [[Saddle]] (occupying 1 Capacity) to reduce travel costs and add a second combat die (shown as the second number in the dice face columns below).

“My heart pounded with anticipation of the fame and glory that lay before me. But first I would need to hire some assistance...”

Companions or Recruitable Characters will join your party in various ways, most commonly by recruiting them in Paris or in islander villages. Your party can have a maximum of 4 companions in addition to your Leader; any extra characters must be dismissed before moving. (Some special temporary companions are an exception to this.)

Note: In all the tables below, Health and Dice face colors are for start Level 1, and "Bonus X, +Y/promotion" means that "Bonus" starts at X at Level 1 and increases by Y for each additional level from 2 onward.

Tavern and Club Recruits

Tavern and Club Recruits can be recruited in the Paris hub in-between treks, or occasionaly found in other locations.

Tavern Recruits

These characters can be obtained in:

Islanders Recruits can be recruited by request to the Ruler of a Village. They can also join your party from certain special locations, encounters or random events.

They can be obtained in:

(Note: the Salamander Prince can only be obtained in the Mole Village of the Act II story expedition.)

Humans

Human Islanders are found in Drylands, Jungle and Prehistoric maps. Some also appear as starting companions of certain Leaders.

Animal Recruits

Animal Recruits are non-humanoid trek members. They take up a character slot as normal but don't have a Loyalty Inline93.png attribute, and have a single special Equipment slot instead of Hand and Body slots. Unlike with humanoids, you can recruit several animals of the same class in your party.

Pack Animals

Pack Animals Inline53.png are often selected for their ability to be ridden and/or their increased carrying Capacity Inline02.png. They have a combined Beast/Pack Animal equipment slot. One pack animal per party can be Mounted Inline102.png by your Leader using a Saddle (generally occupying 1 Capacity) to reduce travel costs and activate the mount's second die.

They can be obtained in:

Beasts

Beasts Inline54.png are smaller animals that cannot be ridden or use larger equipment. They provide a second die without requiring anything to activate it, and also a bonus die for specified non-Combat challenges. However they have a Beast equipment slot only, and cannot equip Pack Animal-specific items such as Saddles (unless they are also Pack Animals, such as the Raptor).
