Which companion do players leave at the camp, once you account for who they could take?

A companion who joins in chapter four is taken in fewer fights than one from the start, yet that proves nothing about how good they are. This entry shows how to compare companions fairly, given when they were available and how many seats the party has.

Why this works

A fair comparison asks how often someone was chosen out of the times they could have been. A companion who joins late has fewer chances, so counting picks against the chances they actually had separates a weak choice from a late arrival.

When not to use it

Skip it when the story decides who comes along, or when there are only one or two companions to choose from. Then the picks tell you nothing about taste. Judge each by how the story uses them instead.
