Hello, Horatio! “Good kitty!”

2
The power to summon a minion which can fight and act on your behalf.
Used by Grace Cyanide, Created by lumiq.
(When activating this Effect, it is obvious that you are creating a minion in some way. You must actively and obviously be using A ball of yarn.)

Grace begins calling a cat and waving a ball of yarn. Obedience’s old kitty, Horatio, appears as a ghostly form covered in soot. Upon closer inspection, you may be able to tell he was once a calico. Horatio, at the GM’s discretion, may be able to perform small tasks that a mundane cat could, such as catch a bug or offer comfort. Additionally, he is able to perform a scratch attack, and the girls seem to be able to fully understand Horatio due to their mental ties.

Horatio usually resides in Grace’s mindscape, or between worlds- where Obedience half-exists already. He has been with them through the beginning, even when he couldn’t be seen… the most loyal of cats, our beloved Horatio.

They cannot dodge or Defend. They have dog-level intelligence, but are capable of communicating information back to you. Any Perception checks they make are rolled with 3 dice.

Your minion is able to Stealth with a 4-dice pool.
