Companions were a single line on the Ranger's edge; now they are a real subsystem, rollable or pickable, with art, tokens and a place on the sheet. - New compendium "companions" (VANITY · Animal Companions): 10 beasts as full NPC actors with painted core artwork, droppable as tokens — wolf, hawk, owl, raven, hound, lynx, serpent, stag, great bat, ram. Each keeps the printed baseline (Grit 3, attacks at 3 dice) and differs in dodge (2-4d), senses and one distinctive trick, plus which companion action it favours. - New d10 roll table, "The Bond — Animal Companions". - Ranger sheet: the companion block is now a card — art, name, kind, attack, dodge, Grit (with a DOWNED flag), its trick, and one-click Help / Harry / Guard (each posting what it does to chat) plus Attack and Dodge rolls. "Roll the Bond" rolls the d10 and binds the beast straight onto the sheet. - template.json: companion gains kind, img, dodge, trick. - Rules updated in both places: §9a in the Draft 13 source (so the in-world journal carries it) and a new Bond section in the player rulebook, which is regenerated to HTML + PDF (39pp). - Version -> 0.9.6; README/FOUNDRY/system description updated (13 compendia).

VANITY — the Vanity Role-Playing Game (Foundry VTT system)
A generic d6 RPG where ego is a resource and the universe keeps score. Pool = Attribute + Knack + situation; 5–6 = a Success; fail a roll showing two or more 1s and you Stumble, banking a Bane of Karma. No hit points — Grit. Vanity, Karma and Glory drive play.
