| '''Aid''' is a [[loaded keyword]] exclusive to [[Follower]]s which describes a recurring cost that must be paid every turn to utilize the follower. At the start of the Maneuver phase, the follower's owner may optionally pay the Aid cost to transfer the follower to a [[Companion]] (if [[Free Peoples]]) or [[Minion]] (if [[Shadow]]) for the rest of the turn, and gain access to any abilities it might have.
| | This keyword has the form of “Aid – X,” where “X” is the cost to use the aid keyword. You use the aid keyword as a maneuver action. At the start of the maneuver phase, you may pay the aid cost to transfer that follower to your companion. Place it beneath the card, just like a possession or condition borne by that companion. The follower is borne by the companion for the rest of the turn, no matter how often your fellowship moves. You don’t have to pay the aid cost again for a follower borne by a companion in a subsequent maneuver phase. |

| Followers (and the '''Aid''' keyword) were introduced in set 15, [[The Hunters]]. They were an attempt to revisit the concept of faraway helpers that was first explored with [[Ally|Allies]] in the first two blocks of the game. The primary balance issue with allies was that strong abilities would be paid for once and used indefinitely, so a repeated upkeep Aid cost made balancing followers much more fine-grained.
