Allies
A knight may have a squire an acolyte or a padiwan, a detective has a partner and a pilot has a co-pilot. Having another set of hands even if there is not another player available is always handy. While allies operate under their player’s control at the same time as their main character, they are only half as versatile, filling a specific role the main character may need.

Allies are assumed to be the same Type as the main character but do not have to be. They can be of a different size but a character can only have 1 ally per trait (maximum of 2)

Allies can only take the following traits, and they can only have 1 trait per level but they can still take the same trait twice.

Armor, Melee Weapon, Ranged Weapon, Unarmed Skill, Melee Skill, Ranged Skill, Mounted Skill, Job Skill, Weapon Focus
