d100 Sidekick Woes

Sidekicks are a burden and can be helpful (first aid everyone you leave maimed so you dont loose karma). They can even save you from a death trap. Temporary sidekick teen heroes in training can be a novelty. A agency might recruit you or might even insist you do adopt one to make up for some breach of the heroic code. Heroes might find misguided troubled teens with powers who will turn bad without help. Heroes should get karma for helping troubled teen sidekicks. I have sidekicks as a standard option but contacts can be handy. Referee might let you roll you Popularity to bring in a sidekick to help when you are trapped.

Of course law now days frowns on child sidekicks being brought into battle and those fallen pedophile heroes of yesteryear didn't help (TOP10 and 49ers by Alan Moore or Martial Law play on this). But honestly, having a sidekick is worth while, some even marry them.
