Looking for.....

... some 10th level muscle, with a twist of originality/personality.

He (or she) is to be a cohort for a new-ish D&D player who runs a 11th level Combat-Minded Sorcerer. Applicant does not need to be strictly martial in nature, but must be able to hold his/her own in combat.

Full Plate turtles need not apply.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

26 point buy, generally good alignment, FR-based, 30g worth of Magic items (more or less to taste)

Looking forward to meeting you!

Eglantine Egresarde
Sorcerer

PS: Thanks! Last minute emergency!

A tank without full-plate? Go with a Dex-monster. Now, this is a level 11 sorcerer... I'm gonna assume a +2 CHA without any other evidence, so that justifies a lvl 9 cohort. Now... 50gp for such a cohort is... well... tight. At that level, they should have 12,000gp in gear (p58 DMG), all told. But since it seems you want them to be weak in gear, let's go with 7,000gp. Also, since it's lvl 9, it's 26 point buy +2 ability points. Let's get some high dex mod armor, and some ranks of tumble to really bring up that touch AC. Less of an iron golem and more of a nimblewright.

It's FRCS, high-dex, so it's GOT to be Drow! But... gotta be good. Follower of Elistraee. That means we get to add character: levels of cleric. Lets pull the name straight out of TSR 9326: The Drow of the Underdark:

Elvanshalee Veladorn
Ftr4/Clr5 (Priestess of the Dark Maiden)
Hit Dice: 4d10+5d8+3 = 57
Initiative: +5
AC: 19 (+5 Dex, +4 mithril shirt)
Attacks: +1 Bastardsword +9/+4 melee
Damage: +1 Bastardsword 1d10+3
Saves: Fort +8, Ref +9, Will +7
Abilities: Str 10, Dex 20, Con 10, Int 10, Wis 16, Char 12
Skills: Diplomacy +6, Perform (Singing) +8, Tumble +9
Feats: Armor Proficiency (Heavy), Armor Proficiency (Light), Armor Proficiency (Medium), Dodge, Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes, Martial Weapon Proficiency, Shield Proficiency, Simple Weapon Proficiency, Skill Focus (Perform), Toughness (1x), Weapon Focus (Sword (Bastard/Martial)), Weapon Specialization (Sword (Bastard/Martial))
Possessions: Amulet of Health +2; Sword +1 (Bastard); Mithral Shirt
Align: Chaotic Good

Now, if you really want to make this a good lvl 9 character, upgrade from 7,000gp to 12,000gp. Upgrade from mithril shirt to mithral breastplate (or gloves of dexterity +2, same effect, but get masterwork breastplate and you can enchant it! Yay!), add a ring of protection and think about maybe some strength enhancement.

The story should write itself. She's a priestess of the Dark Maiden, cast out of her house as dobluth ulu ssussun. She's really quiet and gentle, but battle brings out the drow in her. She's got ranks of singing because she prefers to sing all vocative components of her divine spells. The song always fits the spell, of course.

Just some stuff for you to play with.

Thanks Halivar

Well done, and she'll fit pretty well with the party Ihave, too.

I did indeed mis-speak (type?) concerning the gold... was supposed to be 5000 gold. Ooopsie.

We play tonight, and it appears that I'll have a brand-spankin new cohort fer our Sorcerer after all!

Thanks again, and agian well done!
