Overview

Ancillary Power Pools become available to hero-aligned and villain-aligned characters at level 41. A character can only select one Ancillary Power Pool. Additionally, Patron Power Pools open at level 41, but require doing a Patron arc to unlock, so only characters of villain alignment can unlock these pools (though they stay unlocked for that character regardless of alignment after unlocking).

Warshades, Peacebringers, Arachnos Soldiers and Arachnos Widows do not get access to Ancillary Power Pools.

Unlike the regular Power Pools, these are restricted by Archetype. The powers in these pools are selected from other Archetypes, and are designed to give each Archetype access to types of abilities that they do not normally have: holds and ranged attacks for melee Archetypes, armors for ranged Archetypes, etc.

Just like the regular Power Pools, you can choose a different APP/PPP during a respec.
