Adding allies in Savage Worlds

[Magniloquent]

So I figured out how to add Allie’s to a character sheet, but I can’t figure out how to add the ally on the same initiative of the character.

I have a shape changer that I have added all his shapes as Allies. When he shape changes I’m going to skip his turn and act through his alternate form

Please help

Drag and drop the ally NPC link from the character sheet towards the combat tracker. You should see that the action card is highlighted with a red box. If you drop the NPC link onto the character's card - rather than to an empty bit of the tracker - it will add the ally to the character's initiative.

Similarly for characters already on the tracker you can drag and drop their link (usually the little white dragon a red square, depending on your theme) and drop onto another character's card and it'll group the two on to the same initiative card.

Cheers, Hywel Phillips

Button on CT opens radial menu to add all PC and allies on one click. Any NPC on Allies section of player character sheet automatically gets added on same action card.

For shape changers I would not use allies. Instead use effect on CT to modify character. Note that these effects can even be saved to their own module for future reuse.

Use the Menu button on the CT and the Add button. It has options to Add Allies, Players and Vehicles to the CT and assigns them to the right Action Card.
