Contact Jobs
Muscle
Every contact assigned to this job will provide you with an ally to use in combat. Use make ally to configure your ally, then use an attack with the asummon special to make them arrive in combat. Allies usually take 4 rounds to show up. You can use command allies attack/follow/atwill (target) to command them in fights. Allies do less damage if the person who summoned them has used their attack that round. The power of allies is determined by the average score of all contacts assigned to the muscle job. Each ally has 60k experience, times the number of skillpoints invested into the muscle contact in experience to spend. So 60k at rank 1, 180k at rank 2 and 900, 000 at rank 5. When an ally is defeated in combat they become injured and the contact is unable to be used again for about three days. It takes 20 minutes after a fight for your allies to refresh.
