You’ve got seriously badass friends – a vampire lord, a faerie noble, a werewolf pack, Umbrood courtiers, or other similarly magnificent entities. In most respects, this is the Supernatural Companion Merit but with a much higher power-level… a level which might be beyond the capacity of mages below the Master rank. And while the Storyteller determines who your friends are, what they can do, and what they want out of their relationship with you, the value of this Merit depends upon their relative benefit to you:

• (5 points) One buddy of considerable power and in­ fluence within his community – a Prince of the City, a Garou elder, and so forth.

• (6 points) A small group of Supernatural Companions (five or so), or an especially powerful representative of his kind.

• (7 points) A larger group of Companions (around a dozen), or two or three powerful friends.

• (8 points) Over a dozen Companions, a handful of powerful friends, or one ally of near-godlike power.

Again, the Storyteller decides who these allies are, why they’re interested in your goodwill, and what the cost of their aid might be. You get nothing for nothing, after all, especially not when such beings are involved! For a commensurate level of enemies, see the Flaw: Immortal Enemy, p. 93.
