Default Re: 25% of Starting Points

Also it should be noted that at lower point values the 25% ally is actually closer to the PC in power than at higher point values. But costs of course more in relative % of the available points.

As a slightly silly but valid example lets say that the ally is built exactly the same as the PC, except for lower attributes and the lack of the ally advantage. Using a 5 point ally.

At 25 PC points, the ally costs 20% of the points, thus the ally maximum 6 points and is effectively only 25-6(ally pt)-5(ally cost) 14 points behind the master in points. That is one less HT or ST and 1 per/will less than PC.

At 100 PC points, the ally costs 5% of the points, thus the ally maximum 25 points and is effectively only 100-25(ally pt)-5(ally cost) 70 points behind the master in points. That is say two IQ, one DX one less HT or ST less than the PC.

At 500 PC points, the ally costs 1% of the points, thus the ally maximum 125 points and is effectively only 500-125(ally pt)-5(ally cost) 370 points behind the master in points. That is say six IQ, six DX, six HT and seven ST less than the PC.
