Powerful Ally

When this perk is selected, the Gamemaster and the player should discuss the nature and identity of this ally. There might also be some sort of cost involved for the continued assistance of an ally—the ally might be the character’s patron, who can call on the character for help as often as the character calls on him, or the ally might just collect favors and call them in at some future time.

When in trouble, a character can call on his Powerful Ally for favors or help. A perk check determines what kind of aid the ally provides. Bear in mind that the character needs a way to contact his ally, and the ally needs a way to respond.

Check results: Failure, no aid is forthcoming; Ordinary, Ordinary help; Good, Good help; Amazing, Amazing help. (These terms are defined in the Gamemaster Guide.)
