So one of my players is using the Changeling playbook and wants to use Constant Companion so she has an ally. In the mystery, at some point stuffed animals are going to come to life, and I was going to surprise her by giving her that for an ally, however, after talking to her, she wants a Backup Ally, and stuffed animals aren’t exactly known for their fighting prowess.
So I see three options
Have her go ahead and make her own backup ally and drop the bear-as-ally thing, either turning it against the team or just making it ineffectual (the other stuffed animals are going to be spies for the monster)
Give the bear some kind of magic attacks for backup with some kinda bs about it having absorbed magic coming off the changeling girl over the years
Or I have her make her own ally and still have the bear come into play as a lieutenant. Maybe one that works with the entire team instead of just the one hunter.
Thoughts? Also, how do you guys usually handle backup Allies?
