Result: sidekick is 50% better most of the time, quite even for a champion/rogue multiclass who get 2x chance of massive damage from a critical sneak or a PC really needing reaction for AoO or deflect arrows, etc. Level 3: 5% more chance of critical vs cunning action, helpful and inspiring help Note: Unlike eldricht knight and battle master, the Sidekick uses no resources for the abilities.

Starting at 3th level, the Sidekick’s assistance becomes especially inspiring. On her turn in combat, she can take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action as a bonus action.įrom 3th and beyond, the Sidekick is adept at giving well-timed assistance the Sidekick can take the Help action as a bonus action but forgo any use of reaction up to her next initiative next round.
