Chapter 1: Companions / Using Companions

Adventuring with Companions

Source Kingmaker Companion Guide pg. 5
Companions that have joined the PCs don't need to accompany them on every encounter. They can be held back in reserve to guard a campsite, left to perform downtime activities, serve as leaders in the kingdom, and so on. But at times, it may make sense for one or more companions to accompany the PCs on their adventures. If you allow this, you'll want to adjust encounters to account for the increased number of characters in the party.
