Sidekicks and Teaching Skills and Abilities
Being a Sidekick
Maybe you aren't the biggest fish in the sea and you need a stronger super to watch your back. Or maybe you like taking orders better than giving them. Either way you have decided to become a sidekick. Though sidekick is the "official term" many may refer to it as Hero assistant, crony, Henchman or whatever else. While many people may work for a super they can only have 1 official sidekick at any given time.
What are the benefits of being a sidekick?The benefits of being a sidekick is that you receive a 20% prestige or SP bonus for every mission done with your patron super or by his/her bidding.
Drawbacks of being a sidekick?Your Patron super can void you being their sidekick at anytime. If a sidekick betrays their Patron or is cancelled for failing to do their duties the sidekick cannot get any bonus prestige or modifiers for a week. They can only earn the standard prestige rates.
Teaching Skills
Those with the Leadership specialty can teach their skills to others. This is the only circumstance in which a class may gain extra skills other than plots and tournaments. A leader can teach a total of 3 skills to someone and the student must be able to learn it(have all the prerequisites). In order to teach a skill both the student and the teacher must make a topic of at least 5 posts of 500 words each. Skill Training should be in the topic heading. The student will then pay x3 the skill prestige to acquire it officially(plus whatever the super may charge).
