And their rating for those abilities would be? Patrons are missing from the table giving the ability ratings for supporting characters. It says somewhere that a PATRON is more powerful than the character: the opposite of a FOLLOWER.
If the ratings are like FOLLOWER ratings, then PATRONS are like puny
followers or strong DEPENDANTS (from rules PoV). If they are about
the same as the character's, they are really a kind of ALLY (see
below). If they are better, why have an ALLY when you can have a
PATRON?

Yes, this is as I see it, but then PATRONS and ALLIES seem to be a distinction without a difference.
