Basic Retainer Rules

For each retainer that a character has, a separate Retainer background must be purchased. 

When required to perform a roll for a retainer, the following quick stat rules will apply:

• If the action is within the retainer's area of expertise, they are allocated a dice pool equal to 2x their Retainer dots plus any applicable modifiers (use of disciplines etc)
  

  Retainer Dots	Dice Pool
  1	2
  2	4
  3	6
  4	8
  5	10

  
  
• If the action is not within the retainer's area of expertise, they are allocated a dice pool equal to their Retainer dots plus any applicable modifiers (use of disciplines etc)
  
• If the retainer is a Ghoul, they receive discipline dots as follows (the specific disciplines must be noted in the expanded background section of the character's sheet):
  

  Retainer Dots	Discipline Dots
  1-2	1
  3-4	2
  5	3

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  A Ghoul'd disciplines may never exceed their domitor's equivalent discipline rating.

Currently the Retainer background is capped at 4!
