An earlier draft had specific values for them. They will indeed be more powerful than the player, so you might want to give them values higher than the hero. This may not work as well if two heroes have the same patron (as happened in our game)...
In any case, I think it's rare that the player will be rolling for those abilities. Your hero should know his patron's best abilities, and have reasonable confidence that he is quite good at them, but that's it.

A patron will (almost) never accompany you in your adventures. An
ally (usually) will.
