Sidekicks get 1 keyword, and 3 skills (from that keyword?). The keyword cannot be improved, no keyword can ever be improved. You get 15 pts amongst the 3 skills, they can be improved.

Most of my players look to take skills that they dont have, or one they can use as an augment for their primary skill.

Sidekicks are also good for APs when you are caught by surprise and forced to use a skill you are not good at, they still provide 17+ AP.
