[QUOTE="Goddess FallenAngel, post: 1509894, member: 11434"] I will allow her to have class levels because she is a PC, not an NPC (even if she is another PC's familiar). She will also get XP for encounters she [i]participates[/i] in, like a PC. The challenges of roleplaying a familiar to another PC are enough of a limiting factor - for instance, when dividing up loot, ;) the other PCs should be treating her as a familiar, thus no share, etc. At least, this is my experience in the past, and I would highly remind everyone to treat her as any other familiar. That is correct. :) I'm sorry to hear that, Uriel, especially with Endur's game over. I hope you enjoy yourself! :) *I will update the "in" list shortly* Yes, you are in. :) A familiar, although a PC, is not enough of an issue for me to really count as a 'character' for DMing purposes... *sorry, Paxus* :) As for the cohort - I will allow just about anything within reason, as long as you have a reason for the cohort's AL to be something other than 'standard'. (I.E., put it in your character history.) Also, as far as the 'outsider' type goes, in my game any creature born on another plane is an outsider. (Native Outsiders are also outsiders). When a native Faerunian goes to, say, the Astral, they are an outsider. So, you could even have a 'normal' cohort that is a native of another plane. [/QUOTE]
