[QUOTE="greycastle, post: 805529, member: 11130"] I'm Currently going to start playing a cleric soon *i'm still whining about the feats in another thread :S* At Level 6 *i'm still thinking we will acheive it, so don't burst my metaphorical bubble* i'm planning to take the Leadership Feat, to gain firstly a Cohort (unknown class) and have maybe a few experts and Warriors as followers that quite literally follow me *we might implement a system where your chances to aquire a Expert or Warrior is harder than simply commoners e.g. Com1 50%, Exp1 30%, War1 20% (using a D10, Com1 1-5, Exp 6-8, War1, 9-10)* Heres the problem. What would the best Cohort class be considering i'm playing a Melee based Cleric, whos main purpose is to fight close combat, cast aggressive/buff spells, with Healing secondary, as it's Spontaneous, and so i won't lose out. I've considered taking possibly another cleric, and to play the character out purely as a laid back cleric, to Stay out of melee combat, and help with Buff/Healing spells, and Agressive spells/Ranged attacks secondary. However, i dont' think the group would be able to stand two Cleric's of Tymora, Constantly preaching (not to mention DM has stated he has alot of control over the character, and will only hold back, if we play the other character convincingly *e.g. decided to give his share of treasure as tith, rather than to buy My cleric a new Set of +2 Fullplate ;)* Now i've also thought about taking a Fighter, Fighter/Rogue (Tymora is chaotic, and a Rogue/Sorceror), Sorceror/Rogue, Fighter/Sorceror...i'm REALLY not sure... What would the best Cohort for a Melee cleric be? P.s. if you could also add what the best cohort for a Lawful Good Wizard is, would be most helpful. Thanks in Advance all. [/QUOTE]
