-	~~When~~ a [[Contestant~~\|contestant~~]] ~~convinces, hires, or otherwise acquires another creature as~~ a ~~temporary~~ or permanent ~~companion~~, ~~it is said they have obtained an '''ally'''~~.	+	An '''ally''' is a creature who actively joins the [[Contestant]] on a semi-permanent or permanent basis. Allies will follow orders and fight along with the Contestant, and are generally implied to be subordinates to the Contestant. Ally inventories can be managed by the Contestant as well, and allies can be ordered to perform specific actions.

-	~~There is a difference between a peaceful creature and~~ an ~~ally ; a peaceful~~ creature ~~is merely sympathetic of~~ the Contestant, an ally ~~actively joins the Contestant and will fight along~~ with ~~him/her, on~~ the ~~same side~~. ~~Generally speaking~~, ~~allies are~~ acquired ~~for protection~~, ~~as they offer an extra target and extra firepower to apply on enemies. They can also fit the role~~ of ~~pack mule; many creatures are capable~~ of ~~equipping weapons and load-bearing gear, which allows them to have their own inventory to share with the Contestant if needed~~.	+	Though not technically an [[Abilities\|ability]], the act of convincing another creature to join the Contestant as an ally can be considered one. Allies can be gained through roleplaying, with the aid of a Negotiation check if desired (at the GM's discretion). Certain creatures, such as mercenaries, can be temporarily acquired by hiring them, generally in exchange of a sum of money.

-	~~Though not technically an~~ [[~~Abilities~~\|~~ability~~]], ~~the act of convincing another creature to join the Contestant can be considered one; it is possible to acquire allies through pure roleplaying. Otherwise~~, ~~as is the case for mercenaries~~, allies ~~can be obtained at least temporarily by hiring or purchasing their services, if~~ they are ~~for hire. There also exist cases where creatures will offer themselves as allies free~~ of ~~charge, and cases where peaceful creatures will~~ follow the Contestant ~~on their own volition without being allies, but supporting them the same way (they are however free to leave whenever they desire)~~.	+	Peaceful creatures that are sympathetic to the Contestant due to [[Quests\|quest-related]] circumstances, positive Reputation, or incidental fighting alliance, are ''NOT'' allies. Allies are different in that they are specifically filling the role of a subordinate willing to follow the Contestant's orders.

-	~~=== Limits ===~~	+	In order to be considered an ally, a creature must be formally '''hired''' as such; they will generally fill the role of a bodyguard, traveling partner, follower, or even that of a subordinate whose purpose is to answer to the Contestant only. Allies may also be '''dismissed''' if their services are no longer required by the Contestant. Most allies will return to a home town or home location after dismissal.
-	~~The~~ Contestant ~~may~~ only ~~have~~ the ~~following:~~	+

-	* '''1 ally of ~~any species''' maximum~~	+	At the exception of mercenaries, who are disposable, randomly named and generated, and always available in some form, there is also a finite amount of potential allies with unique names and appearances. Death of an unique ally is permanent.
-	~~PLUS~~	+
-	* '''1 hired mercenary''' maximum	+

-	~~If desired~~, ~~it is possible to hire two hired~~ mercenaries~~, if funds allow~~.	+	'''The Contestant may only have one ally at a time'''. This includes temporarily hired allies, such as mercenaries.

New page

'''Ally join''' is one of the [[Abilities|abilities]] of a [[Contestant|contestant]]. This is a particular ability which affects the contestant's [[Encounters|encounters]], as he/she attempts to tame, convince, or hire one of them to help him/her out in his/her progress.

Attempting to perform this is based on '''roleplaying skills''', and every monster has a different behavior; some may be completely insensitive to taming/convincing attempts, while others are much easier.

=== Causes and effects ===
*Being a special ability related to encounters and not the contestant himself/herself, it is '''not subject to any cooldown'''.
*Successful ally join allows the creature to follow the contestant around and provide him/her with a '''companion for chatting''' (if the creature can speak or understand human speech), '''helping according to the creature's abilities''', as well as providing a '''battle partner''', which will attack after the contestant, but before the enemy does.
*Not all creatures can join the contestant the same way. For example, ''certain'' animals (such as the [[German shepherd|german shepherd]]) can be tamed if offered certain [[Food|foods]], but humanoid creatures may be talked to and can be convinced, or paid. Refer yourself to every specific encounter's page to know more about ally joining methods.
*Depending on the creature that became the contestant's ally, they may need different forms of attention, and cannot use all items a contestant can use. For example, an animal ally (such as the [[German shepherd|german shepherd]]) that was tamed cannot be fitted with [[Clothing and armor|body armor]] or wield a [[Weapon|weapon]].
*Depending on the situation, an allied creature '''can turn into an enemy again''' if the contestant '''berates, irritates or deliberately''' attacks it, depending on what creature it is and what behavior it has.

=== Statistics ===
An ally creature has the following statistics tracked:

*[[Pain]]
*[[Hunger]]
*[[Inebriation]]
*If the creature is humanoid, sexual statistics ([[Impregnation]]/[[Pregnancy]] or [[Potency]])
*[[Secondary effect|Secondary effects]]

*Allies will '''instantly [[Death|die]]''' to poison. [[Wound|Wounds]], [[Broken limb|broken]] and [[Severed limb|severed limbs]] are not tracked.
*If an ally can wield [[Weapon|weapons]], they can only carry one, unless this ally is '''human''', in this case they can carry as many weapons as a contestant can.
*If they can, they will also wear [[Clothing and armor|clothing and armor]], changing their armor class accordingly.
*Allies start with no [[Backpack|backpack]] and will rely on yours for items, but '''they can acquire their own''' if you stumble upon an extra one.
