Are Sidekicks allowed?

[allworth]

I was thinking about creating a character with a sidekick. I didn't see anything in the rules that wouldn't allow this, unless I just flat out missed it.

Are there any rules against making a Sidekick?

Then in game terms, is it feasible to have a Sidekick, or does it tend to make the game more cumbersome?

Thanks for any info or advice you can give.

Yup, it's just limited by your PL.

There is nothing nothing in the rules forbidding Sidekicks, though as I understand it a Sidekick is restricted to half the PCs PL.

As for it slowing down the game, not particularly. A lot of other factors tend to slow it down more.

That has recently changed, check the minions post :D

I've also looked at Sammy Sixshooter (he's got a sidekick as well) who's going through approval at the moment and judging from that process one of the sticking points has been keeping his sidekick from exceeding PL 3.

Sammy was submitted before the rule change though. Meaning he could change his minon/sidekick, but I doubt it'd be work the hassle since it already looks like a hassle :P

Fair enough.

Thanks for the help all. I should have thought to check the Minions thread.
