Forest Companion
Prerequisite: Sylvan
You have a special affinity with the forest, its balance, and its inhabitants, and you are able to create a unique bond with a wild animal; a bond of equality, friendship, and collaboration. You gain the following benefits:

• You add double your proficiency bonus to any Nature and Survival skill check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.
• Through a ritual lasting 8 hours, you can create a bond with a friendly beast. That beast must be Medium or smaller with a challenge rating of 1/4 or lower. The beast obeys your commands as best as it can. It takes its turn on your initiative, though it doesn't take an action unless you command it to. On your turn, you can verbally command the beast where to move (no action required by you). You can use your action to verbally command it to make an Attack, Dash, Disengage, Dodge, or Help action. Once you have the Extra Attack feature, you can make one weapon attack yourself when you command the beast to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated or absent, the beast acts independently of you, focusing on protecting itself and you. The beast does not need your command to use its reaction, for example, to make an opportunity attack.
