Consteuct Companion Support benefit


Inventor Class


Am I just not seeing a companion support benefit for when they are not commanded?
Such as the bear support benefit of dealing 1d8 each time you strike until the beginning of your next turn.

While it could be interesting if construct companions could select a support benefit, there's nothing I see suggesting that they are intended to have one. Remember, support benefits are an animal companion specific thing, not an aspect of all minions.


Constructs have access to a wide variety of actions through the inventor class. They don’t need support action.


Constructs have a different gig going. They have a long list of immunities, all the explody, and the various modifications & feat support. Being different, it's a thing.

Also, unless I was mistaken, you don't get the support benefit unless you have used the Command Animal action. [I'm not positive if you could use the one action support action for an animal that gets one action even when you don't command it or not]

Mature companions that gain one action to stride or strike when nit commanded can't use that action to support.
