TIP: Friendly Monsters
Some encounters include monsters or NPCs that cooperate with the party rather than act as adversaries. You can mark these monsters as friendly in the combat tracker.
After you set a monster as a friend they behave slightly different:
Huddle on the map with other characters
Count as characters when computing encounter difficulty since they will likely help the players.
Not contribute experience points to the encounter.
Hint: if the monster is going to travel with the characters click the keep option when finishing the encounter so that they won’t be removed from the combat tracker.
