Yes -- you need to do a Patron arc to unlock the PPPs, just like a regular villain.
Arc#314490: Zombie Ninja Pirates!
Defiant @Grouchybeast
Death is part of my attack chain.
Did you run one of the Patron's first arcs and collect one of the following four badges?
Bloodletter
Mirage
Spider's Kiss
The Stinger
We are in process of running the Sicrroco's arc now. So we may be presented with the patron powers after finishing the arc?

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

I think it's a regular respec and not a freespec. It stacks with freespecs. That is to say, you can have the respec granted by running the patron arc available at the same time as a freespec, whereas freespecs do not stack.

Correct. It's a minor difference, but important.

Just in case the other answers didn't make it absolutely clear to others reading this thread (they did a pretty good job, but in my line of work I've found you have to be absolutely explicit with some people), every character, whatever their Archetype* and whatever side of the game they started on, must complete one of the four Patron Arcs to unlock access to the Patron Power Pools. These arcs are reported to be able to be run by either a villain or a rogue; I've not heard any vigilantes report being able to start, run, or earn the badge (the badge is what unlocks the pools.) |

Regardless of which arc you run, you will gain access to all four PPPs for your AT.
All characters, also regardless of AT** and alignment, gain access to the Ancillary Power Pools (aka Epic Pools) upon reaching level 41, with no other requirements.
* Offer not available to Hero Epic ATs, aka Kheldians, aka Peacebringers and Warshades.
** Offer not available to Epic ATs - neither Kheldians nor Villain Epic ATs (Widows and Soldiers of Arachnos) have access to APPs.
And we have stayed villains. Now to Patron powers - we are the following AT's:
Tank
Scrapper
Controller
Defender
