Summon

 Note: the following is OGL content. It originally appeared in Museum Mayhem - written by Mike Lafferty and Daniel Gallant and published by Vigilance Press in 2011

 Summon (x2)  You can summon or instantly create minions to aid you. You can summon a number of Average Minions equal to your power level or a number of Weak Minions equal to twice your power level. (Average Minions are built on 40 points, Weak Minions on 27 points, and Elite Minions on 60 points.) You can base your minions on the pre-made Minions presented below or feel free to design your own within the point and power limitations. Minions do not have any determination and you cannot spend determination on their behalf. Minions must use the Minion Damage Option(s) described on page 71 of ICONS. Additionally, minions may not have the Animate, Summon, Wizardry or Duplication powers. Minions lost will become available once the current conflict or game session is over, at GM's discretion.

The GM may require that the Summon power have reasonable limitations depending on the character. For example, a genius inventor might only be able to summon robot minions when she is within 75 miles of her lab. Alternately, a 'lord of the jungle' character could only summon gorilla henchmen while in (or close to) the jungle or a sorcerer can summon demonic minions only after taking 5 minutes to complete the proper ritual.

As a bonus power, you can do one of the following

Reinforcements . summon an additional number of Weak Minions equal to your power level.

The Specialist. spend a point of Determination and summon an Elite Minion as an additional minion. You can only do this once per conflict.

'''The Switch Up. ''' Choose different types of minions. They must still fit your character concept, meet point and power restrictions and be approved by the GM. This option can only be used once per conflict. (A handy example: during a fight, the 'lord of the jungle' character decides she needs to summon an elephant or zebra to assist with a challenge her gorilla minions aren't having much luck with.)

Alternate Minion Cost Rule  Average Minions are built on a number of points equal to your own point total less the levels in Summon. Weak Minions are built on 2/3 of this number (round up) the Average Minion amount, and Elite Minions are built on one and a half times the Average Minion amount. For example, if a character is built on a total of 37 points, and has Summon 5, then their Average Minions are built on 32 points, Weak Minions on 22 points (32 / 3 * 2 = 21.333, rounded up to 22), and Elite Minions on 48 points (32 * 1.5 = 48).
