Companions act by role with a two-rule Script the player sets from a fixed menu per role (Fighter: guard the owner / attack the marked; Sentry: warn / hide; Forager: nearest / highest quality; Runner: fastest / safest; Mount: none). Bond level raises the Script's reliability (a Companion at Bond 1 ignores its rule 30% of the time; at Bond 5, never). Companions never die; they flee at 0 HP and return at the Waystone with a Wound. Draft companions are wrong in small ways on purpose.
