Skill Based Power: Assistant by Mr. Twist

Another in the line of the skill based powers, this one really doesn't give the character much in the way of benefits to their own skills. Instead, it gives them the wonderful ability to be in tune to the skill use of others. This person's help in a task in invaluable, giving a bonus to others. Also, because they are so in tune with the person they are helping, they can sometimes even give a second chance on a failed roll.

Bonus: The character that the person who uses this power is helping gains a +10% bonus, plus the user of this power's IQ bonus, to any skill roll they make as long as this character is helping them every step of the way. If the character isn't there every step, but at least half the time, they get only the +10%. Every level of experience gained by the possessor of this power increases the base +10% by another +1%.

Second Chances: If this user is helping every step of the way, and the person they are helping fails a skill roll, then another roll is immediately made by this character. The roll is made at exactly half of the original skill roll, including whatever bonuses were given by this power. If it succeeds, assume the character pointed out something that was missed, making the first roll successful.
