Humanoid Companion

When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you've taken an apprentice, gaining the services of your own humanoid companion.

• Your companion gains two additional traits. It gains one more additional trait when you reach 11th level in this class. For each trait in excess of your proficiency bonus, your force point maximum is reduced by 2.

Lastly, while bonded and within 10 feet of you, when your companion is hit by an attack, you can use your reaction and expend a use of your Force Shield feature to shroud it in Force energy. If you do so, until the start of your next turn, both you and your companion gain the benefits of your Force Shield. This includes the triggering attack.

times equal to your Wisdom or Charisma
modifier (your choice, a minimum of once).
You regain all expended uses when you
finish a long rest.
