Empathetic Bond

Ability Score Increase. Increase your Dexterity, Constitution, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

Forged Connection. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can choose one willing creature you can see to become your Bonded Partner. This bond lasts until you die, your partner dies, or you designate a new Bonded Partner at the end of a Long Rest. You can only have one Bonded Partner at a time.

Telepathic Empathy. You and your Bonded Partner can communicate telepathically with each other as long as you are on the same plane of existence.

Shared Burden. When your Bonded Partner takes damage while within 30 feet of you, you can use your Reaction to magically siphon their pain. You take half of the damage (rounded up), and your partner takes the remainder. The damage you take from this feature cannot be reduced or prevented in any way. Immediately after using this Reaction, you gain temporary Hit Points equal to two times your Proficiency Bonus. You can use this Reaction a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
