But wouldn't introducing the Sidekick system for just one character unbalance things? I'm starting to think making it an DMNPC would make a lot of sense. Plus, easy of play is more important that rules crunch.

Hello Everyone,

I'm going to be running a Fate Core game set on an alternate history Earth. One of the players is brand new to RPGs and wants to play a circus acrobat who travels with a Bengal tiger. I'm working on how to make that happen, but I'm also very new to Fate Core. I understand that the tiger would probably be an Extra, using skills to represent it, but have no idea how to make it work properly/cost enough/not cost too much, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
