5E Pets

[jimlad42]

I've laughed at one of my NPCs where their twin sibling is "officially" their pet because of this.
I hadn't considered the Pet Vehicles, though. That's great.

I noticed in last night's session, when you apply a long rest the pets ignore the Healing varients; I use Slow Natural Healing so long rests only restore HD, but the pets were full healed by the long rest.
I can't say if this is new to FG 4.7 or not, I don't remember one way or the other. And I just tested in a campaign with only Pets and the issue still arises.

(Which... might be intended behavior with just Pets, I didn't realize that NPC HD came from Life Ledger.)

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I can't get Con, Int, or Cha saves to add the caregiver's PB with the Pets extension... the others seem to work fine:

Sorry for asking but I'm having a nightmare of a time trying to figure out how to get the HP scaling for things like some of the ranger companions not scaling with the X times your [class] level, I'm quick to assume I'm just derping on how to input it into the HP section of the statblock if anyone could explain how to get it put in please

Easy once you know where to look.

Beast of the Land


In order to use this NPC the DM will need to make a copy of this template and edit the copy to make the following adjustments:


Armor Class: Add the Ranger's Proficiency bonus to the Armor Class


Hit Dice: The Beast has a number of Hit Dice (d8's) equal to the Ranger's level


Hit Points: Hit points are 5 + 5 times the Ranger Level


Features: Change the word 'Player' with the correct save DC in Charge to reflect the Ranger's spell save DC.


Actions: Replace the 'your spell attack modifier' with the Ranger's actual spell attack modifier and add the Ranger's Proficiency Bonus to the damage in Maul.

Open Tasha's Cauldron of Everything (not the players the GM's) and it has an NPC in there you can make a copy of and edit the name and skills etc. But this template will correctly do the 5x RNG level for HP.

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but my players are only seeing black boxes on pets linked from there character sheets. I've made sure to have that record shared. Is this possibly a new bug?

[Hjorimir]

Follow-up: This seems to be unique to the 2024 NPC record. If I revert to the 2014 version, the record is visible to the player.

Figured out the HP problem, just updating this with another question. Is there a way to code the NPCs to use a power group DC outside of spellcasting (like allowing a Monk to use thier Ki DC, or a Fighter to use a Con based power DC)

We've just started a 5e campaign and when in Combat Tabletop view the icon/portrait for pets is always faded - like it's a player who hasn't taken control of the character. If we add the same creature directly to the CT from the NPC list and make the visible the token image is normal. There's no visiblility option for a pet on the CT. Is there a way to make the token image in this view "normal"?

I'm not seeing this behavior, can you take a screenshot of the CT, PC pets tab, chat.

Also are you running any other exts? Have you tested this with just pets running?

The behavior you should see is that if a creature (any creature) is marked as Faction: Friend in the CT, then it should be visible and not greyed out in the map/CT. If you change the faction, you then get the eye and can change the grey out or not.
