I was thinking the other day about Sidekicks. Shadowrunners obviously don't have them (Under most circumstances) but I could see a lot of story possibilities to playing more than one runner at once.
The thoughts I had were: Essentially a groupie/minion is an NPC that follows your PC around and is "Controlled" by your character's use of the Leadership skill. While under GM control the Groupie is sort of a cross between a contact and a dependent and will obey and follow your instructions (Dependent on leadership in stressful and dangerous situations). A groupie's story might be anything from a kid brother you're introducing to the Family Business to a guy who's life you saved and is sworn to follow you until he saves your's back. How could this be done? How many build points is a groupie worth? Would they be completely game inbalancing? |
