What happens when a companion dies in combat?

[solaris32]

1. Do they resurrect at the end of combat? Or do we need a resurrection scroll or spell, or a priest or something?

2, Do fallen companions continue to earn exp, or is their exp stopped until they revive?

Resurrection scroll or spell.
There's another way but that would be a spoiler, you'll discover it yourself.

When a companion die, they are dead for good, no auto-res after the fight is done. You either need a resurection scroll to bring them back or pay the toll to the skeleton man (a NPC you can recruit to your camp) to bring them back to life. They do not earn EXP while dead.

There is a icon you click on ( tool bar ) and then the companion.

Depends. Is it not Gale? They become a corpse that you can resurrect using a scroll, spell, or Withers.

Is it Gale? Wait a while and find out.

Don't post spoilers wtf

It´s not that big of a spoiler considering even level 3 group can solve the problem.

The world becomes a better place. These companions are garbage.

If a character is "downed" when combat ends (meaning making death saves—weird round icon showing successes or failures on saves—or stabilized where they're still unconscious but no longer making death saves), the character is automatically "helped" without needing another character to spend an action since turnbased mode is the only time action resources are considered.

Helping works for downed and prone characters and, depending on the situation, sometimes restrained characters. It does not work on dead characters or characters who are incapacitated in other ways like petrification or surprise. It costs an action to do it. Downed character return to function at 1HP. Prone characters don't have to use movement to get up and stop giving advantage to enemy attacks once no longer prone.

If a character is dead (red skull icon on their character sheet), scroll or spell will be required.

(This deviates a bit from 5e tabletop. They make returning from death hurt a bit more on tabletop, but this is a video game.)

NOTE: There is an option in the customized difficulty settings (not available in Honour Mode) that immediate succeeds in death saves so that downed companions never die by normal combat and will automatically revive when combat ends. (Characters can still die by jumping/being pushed into "chasm" areas and special circumstances like turn-limited events and effects. A scroll or spell will still be required in those cases.)
