Oh, and do I get XP for killing Ashnar?

Speaking as someone who has contemplated the Leadership feat as well, I'm not really in favor of increasing the Cohort point buy either. It's not that Ashnar was in any way overshadowed by Hogarth (if anything, he was overshadowed in a secondary field by Rinaldo, for whom it was a primary field, and thus he should be overshadowed there). It's, as Manzanita said, a more conceptual thing. Not voting yet, I'll let the arguments settle in my mind first.

Since Bront has no objections, I'll remove the controversial part of the retroactive clause.

Also, we might consider this to be two separate proposals: 1 for the PB change, 1 for the XP change. I think everybody agrees on the XP change at least.

I vote yes on the XP change. I abstain from the PB change. I've always felt that Cohorts should be standard people not up to being heroes in their own right. While I don't know if stats define that or not I'm not convinced we need to change it.

Standard people would be closer to 28 PB, which was proposed as an option as opposed to the full 30.

I'm not sure I get what you mean by "standard people". 28-29 PB is the average for characters generated by the 4d6 method, a method deliberately chosen to produce above average results for PCs.

Average array is 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8. That mean 15 PB.

4d6 drop lowest with tossing hopeless characters actually produces an average slightly above 30. However, since point buy lets you choose where everything goes, 30 PB like we have here is a good compromise for rolling.

I'll vote Yes to the XP change. I'll hold off voting on the Point Buy change, but I'm leaning to no.
