[HoE] (Side)Kicking an Idea Around

[Matthew Steflik <grifflik@stny.rr.com>]

Hey Folks,

Had an interesting (well, at least we thought so) conversation start up
at the other night's session, and I'm looking for input:  What if a
player wanted to play another player's sidekick?  Would you deal with
this as an edge / hindrance kind of mechanic or not?  I mean, if HAVING
a sidekick is an edge, would BEING a sidekick be a hindrance?  One
thought we had was something along the lines of the sidekick character
having a requirement of assisting his partner while not over-shadowing
him (gotta make the boss look good), and having some sort of loyalty or
obligation hindrance as well.  If it is a hindrance, how many points
would it be worth?  Would other Marshals out there even allow something
like this to occur?  If so, how would YOU handle it?  Any and all input
would be interesting and appreciated.
