[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 242557, member: 891"] A woman is a baroness in a small mountain village far away from cosmopolitan life. She's 16 and the last of her line. Raised by her own poor yet devoted subjects. Change comes. A group of youths went off to find adventure when she was 14. They found -something-, and somebody murdered them in their beds after their return over it. Two years later a bunch of outlanders show up looking for clues an ancient secret. They find it, they find the mysteries of long forgotten gods. A month later the kingdom sends a new noble to take her lands. A result of defaulted taxes. It's largely thanks to the outlanders that the kingdom even remembers the village. Or is it. The outlanders become fast friends with the woman and when she's displaced they secretly take her side. Giving her moral support if nothing else. Until she disapears. Another month goes by and it turns out the new noble is a priest of dark gods, his wife a succubus. The outlanders are taken captive and made to watch as the new lord sacrifices the woman to his faith. They escape, and begin a geurilla war to take the village from him. One of the outlanders is from a disgraced noble family on the kingdom's opposite end. Due to her teams discoveries and efforts she is elevated to baroness and given the titles to the land she is fighting for. In the struggle we are just about up to the current point. The outlanders (the PCs) have just taken heavy losses (50% party wipeout) in a failed attempt to assassinate the dark lord. They have managed however to inflict heavy losses on his side, killing most of his senior people, his succubus lover, and large numbers of his forces. And the key point in this question... they recovered the body of the baroness and have raised her. She is now the cohort to the noblewoman who now officially holds her titles; my PC. I've been given sanction to build her character sheet. When last alive we could assume she was a low level something or another. Now she's come back suddenly with 8 levels. But in what? The group consists of: a level 9 archer-7/noble-1/sharpshooter-1 human female(me) a level 6 ranger/rogue drow female (cr 8) a level 7 druid-1/wizard-6 gnome female Next session a new PC will join as a level 7 cleric human male The other losses are not getting replaced yet (other people's secondary PCs, cohorts, and a hobgoblin ally - a total of 4 dead). The cleric is probably going to have a paladin cohort. And we will likely have a bunch of hobgoblin warriors around as followers (an alliance we made, they were the most trustworthy people in the area... :) ) (The DM rules that you can have both a cohort and followers. None of know if that's a house rule or the way it's supposed to work :) ) My plan for my cohort is probably as moral support. I've been told she is not going to be very potent in the arcane if I go that way (it was not something she would have had before death/rebirth) and we all know she is no warrior type. So the likely choices are things like Bard, Courtier, Noble, and so on. The resources I'm drawing from are the PHB, Sovereign Stone, Kalamar Player's Guide, and the Rokugan book. But fitting what I take to a normal fantasy game. I'm leaning on levels in the Muse prestige class from the Kalamar book. So it's the 'foundation class(es)' that I'm unsure of. Stat wise, she will be a 25 point character, with Cha as the likely high stat. Int will probably be low as she's not educated, but Wis high as she is smart and 'knows the score'. Opinions? Ideas? I've 2 weeks to make a character. :) [/QUOTE]
