What is an ally spirit's initiative? Also, what pools would an ally spirit have available to them? The ones that come to mind are combat, astral, and spell pools.

Full Version: Ally Spirit's Pools and Initiative
OK: Noteing that Quickness will probably be equal to the spirit's initial force while Intelligence and Willpower will probably be equal to the creator's:
Reaction: (Quickness+Intelligence)/2 (round down)
Materialised Initiative: Reaction+10+1d6
Astral Initiative: Force+20+1d6
Combat Pool: (Quickness+Intelligence+Willpower)/2 (round down)
Astral Combat Pool: Force*1.5
Spell pool: Force
Karma pool: 1+Donated (as per MITS, p111)
The spell pool is a special case described under the sorcery power in MITS, P109. The others are based on what it says in the spirits and dragons chapter in the BBB, p266.
I think, however, that there is a good case for the Astral Combat pool and Astral Initiative to be calculated using the normal rules (the ones for characters) as the relevant stats for Ally spirits will be higher than those of normal spirits (Note that the rules for spirits assume Int, Cha, and Willpower all equal to the spirit's force which is probably not the case for allys).
If we take this to be a simplification which does not apply here then we get:
Astral Initiative: Intelligence+20+1d6
Astral Combat Pool: (Intelligence+Charisma+Willpower)/2 (round down)
I'd leave it to the GM to say which applies though.
Reaction: (Quickness+Intelligence)/2 (round down)
Materialised Initiative: Reaction+10+1d6
Astral Initiative: Force+20+1d6
Combat Pool: (Quickness+Intelligence+Willpower)/2 (round down)
Astral Combat Pool: Force*1.5

Are their greater form ally spirits?
don't think there's such a thing. But you could dump LOTS of karma into your Ally and get close to the same the results...

except that as of T:AL, ancestor spirits do have great forms. i'm not sure if the aborigines are the only ones who know the technique for invoking them, or what.
