Hi guys,

I noticed in the character builder at the character sheet section there is a companion option.  Can I use it to create companion characters?  At the moment I am generating these manually using the rules in DMG2.

Thanks.

You can, it is generally a bad plan though.  Why do you want a companion character?

From my experience it is 9/10ths of the time a terrible plan to have a DMPC at table.

Only 3 players.  Kids just hit level 4 and they have had two companiosn the whole time.  They help fine.  Saves me downgrading encounters too much from the original.  But where is the option in the builder to actually create a companion?  Doesnt seem to be a flag.
