[QUOTE="(contact), post: 243873, member: 41"] Which could justify sorcerer levels. Campaign note: There is a mid-level expert in town along with a mysterious dwarven architect that she could have had training from, earlier in her life, which could justify PC class levels. Also, lets keep in mind that because of the nature of the campaign, she may very well be a frequent combatant, so just from a meta-game point of view, we should give her as much juice as possible. Aristocrat 2/Expert 1 would make a lot of sense for her story-wise, but would get her killed with a quickness. ;) So the question is, how do you justify 8 class levels? And what classes? If you were to build her with NPC classes, I think you would have a strong case for a level 9 or 10 character (see below). The presence of the mysterious dwarf, and/or other in-game mysteries (we are very near a site that we believe to be the oldest dwarven city in existance, quite literally the location of the dwarves' Eden myth) could justify spellcaster levels in sorcerer. I favor [b]Aristocrat 2, Expert 1, Sorcerer 6[/b]. (If I were DMing, I would give her 9 levels in this case since three of them are NPC classes, and she is starting with no treasure or magic -- at best, she's a CR 7) This above combination reflects her limited experience as a noble, her brief schooling with Ashnern (the Expert) and her exceptional soul-power. It would also (metagame wise) give you an opportunity to tailor her spell list to be uniquely helpful to Selise (Arcady's character). This 'bonded companion' aspect to Leadership makes it one of the strongest feats in the game, IMO. One of the things I did building my follower for this game is used it as an opportunity to play with a really interesting multiclass combination that I would probably otherwise not have chosen for a PC.
