Guild Wars 2

I’ve been looking at builds for Stronghold and am wondering if the NPC’s are considered “allies” with respect to skills “that affect allies”?

I’m pretty sure I remember seeing something about them being able to be healed. Is that right? And are they affected by skills for example that grant allies fury or might? Can they receive any boon that a player can receive?

Yes they are fully supportable. I ran shoutbow escort last open beta.

Staff ele escort > shoutbow escort

I was able to use my ranger’s Nature Spirit rez on our Lord to revive him before a stomp. So it seems revival skills certainly consider the NPCs as allies.

Yes, NPCs are allies and receive boons from allies.

Not sure on priority for targeting if the total of players and friendly NPCs is over the target cap for the ability.
