That's ... actually a pretty good pitch. I think I would also split the character in combat to avoid having one player be idle for several hours or even sessions in case a very long boss fight happens.

    Agreed, give a chance to flip at the beginning of every turn, since that’s when reactions and a lot of 1-turn effects end.

    Also, to further reduce the chance of one player holding the character too long and to add a little fun tension: instead of a coin flip, in order to take over, the player not presenting makes an unmodified DC10 check that decreases by 1 with every failure and resets on a success.

    Also makes sense that in higher stress situations like combat, they'd be fighting for control more frequently than when they're chilling in camp.

    Might be fun to add a check to it. Maybe something akin to a concentration check that they have to roll when they take damage to hold on to their connection to their patron. Failure means they flip.

    If two players want to copilot a character that shit is on them to figure out. If they're disagreeing often enough about who should pilot when then it's gonna be a drag and shouldn't be done.
