Hi Justin.
I have two questions about the Sidekick as you present him/her:

1. Does the Mascot bonus at 6th level make the entire team +1 to hit/+1 to damage (Old Chum) or just +1 to hit (Bolster Hero)? What if the team is composed entirely of kids and/or sidekicks (The Teen Titans/Power Pack/Next Avengers)?

2. At what age does a sidekick become a hero in his or her own right and start progressing as an adult superhero? Also, how should their attributes be adjusted for maturity?

1. As I imagined, yes at 6th level the Mascot ability provides the +1 to hit/+1 to damage. I hadn't thought about a Teen Titans-esque team. I think the powers would still work the same, but instead are more leadership abilities (like Robin).

2. Honestly, I hadn't thought about sidekick's getting promoted to full hero. Given the rules light nature of Swords & Wizardry Light, I don't see many games lasting that long.

I can see your point on item #2. It took sixty years, at least, for Robin to become Nightwing. S&W(C)L would take twenty-one games (not sessions, but modules) to make seventh level from first on a sidekick, and would you want to continue to run the character after it had maxed out? All the sidekick abilities would still be there; you could just (reasonably) up the stats, choose a new class, and start over as a 1st level character, maybe even with your own sidekick.

On second thought, strike "choose a new class". Most sidekicks mirror their adult mentors so progression as an adult super would follow the same path, adding new abilities to what the sidekick already had. You mentioned leadership, certainly any group would welcome a leader with healing abilities.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
