Sidekick

A character who triumphs over evil time and time again becomes an inspiration to others. Eventually, one of these young crusaders may attempt to join the hero in his epic quests.

The hero gains a Novice Rank sidekick. The sidekick is a Wild Card, gains experience as usual, and has abilities that complement or mimic his hero’s.

The player character should control his sidekick just like any other ally. Of course, the sidekick may occasionally cause trouble (by getting captured, running into danger when he’s not supposed to, etc.). The player should be prepared for his “Edge”to occasionally become a “Hindrance.”

If the sidekick dies, he isn’t replaced unless the hero chooses this Edge again.
