Creating Minions Without Spending Character Points (Directly) or otherwise Using Ally
Ok so I'm helping a friend build a setting where a certain kind of magic exists that allows people to summon spirits and bind them to material objects (corpses, golems etc.) or bind them to their person and have control over them.
Now I'm not too keen on using allies for this process simply since the cost of an ally is relevant to your point total and besides this making the actual process of binding confusing wihtin setting (why can a 300 point accountant who binds as a hobby summon more powerful beings then a 100 point professional binder?) the PCs aren't going to be following a strict point total like in many normal GURPS games. Any thoughts on a system for this that isn't terribly setting specific? |

Can these minions be bought and sold? If so, stat them up via Metatronic Generators, and tell your players to invest in Wealth or Independent Income if they want to routinely bring minions along.

Use basically any other magic system besides magical powers?

Besides that though, this is a campaign that will last through the advancements of several TLs and it wouldn't make any sense for these bindings to get MORE expensive as time went on.... I'm just not sure how to tackle this. |

Actually, I don't know why I didn't think of the Golem spell. That completely allows you to just make minions, and with GM say, however you want. That's probably the simplest way, if obnoxious. |
