Minions, Minions, Minions

[13eowulf]

Disclaimer: This has nothing to do with the Despicable Me movie series and spin off(s).

So I am looking for 'Minions' based classes across all Palladium Lines.
Sure anyone can get some minions (plural) through game play, but I am looking for classes that have specific powers or abilities that are geared towards this. (Yes all mages can get certain spells, and yes any super powered being can take Divine Aura).

Off the top of my head I can think of Shifters, Summoners, Necromancers (and variants), the NEMA Robot Controller, the Geneticist, Packmasters, and Raptor Kings.

But I am sure there are others I am forgetting, or never knew about. (And I am looking for PC classes, not NPC only).

Those create the minions themselves, but are not classes that grant a PC minions, if I recall.

I recall several such classes in the Rifter:

Animator (Rifter #26, p. 33)
Familiar Wrangler (Rifter #21, p. 38)
Spell Breather (Rifter #23, p. 17)

Also, the Night Witch in Mystic Russia gains a number of demonic minions, although this O.C.C. is only "optionally" available as a player character.

The Lud. Mages from R9.5...create carnies, Mini-me spell (& add prem. spell)

Excellent, yes. Thank you both.

The Palladium Fantasy Kildred actually has Followers as an "ability" plus those devoted to following them also get actual bonuses to combat when carrying out a special order!
That is a race designed to be leaders of minions! (although theyre in the book specifically because THEY were followers, but still... lol)
