Examples of Followers include human agents, familiars, golems, robots, and kid sidekicks.\nYou build Followers with the same Base Points as any other character in the campaign, with an amount of Total Points and an amount of Matching Complications. However, the Follower must be built on fewer Total Points than the character who buys him.\nThe cost to buy a Follower is his Total Points divided by 5. (Don’t reduce the Total Points by his Matching Complications amount.) For example, suppose Beetleman wants a kid sidekick, Buggy. Beetleman is built on 400 Total Points. Buggy is built on 300 Total Points (including 50 Matching Complications points).

Money may not make the world go round, but it can help motivate PCs. This Perk is most applicable in Heroic games, where characters spend money in the game to buy things.

\n

In Superheroic campaigns, where characters buy equipment with Character Points, Money isn’t as important.
