[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6554177, member: 20323"] Well, yeah if it serves your story. If we are considering me playing an 8th PC, having PC-controlled minions will just clutter the battlefield IMO and would work against my goal of having my PC be "low maintenance." Of course, if you were speaking from an antagonist standpoint then I'm game. Yeah, I'm looking at a re-skinned rock gnome, swapping out Tinker for Object Likeness (when Shandrizar doesn't move he is indistinguishable from an ordinary book). Would a Fighter 2, Monk 1 be ok? Or maybe a Figher 1, Monk 2? Not sure yet, but mechanically that multi-class combo looks right for the sort of unarmed warrior I'm aiming for. Um, I'd pictured something akin to the dabus, some kind of a levitation thing that only allows him to hover about 5' off the ground. So a lot like Morte, actually. Obviously fringe situations will make that hard to interpret. I wanted to avoid actual flight because that is a potent ability, and I like how Queenie's pixie is the only one with that. I am open to suggestions, however :) That is a good question about size. I was actually thinking he was a bit non-Euclidean in that I'm picturing a roughly 1' x 1' book about 5" thick when shut (albeit with unusually curving page edges), but a more head-like shape when open. I imagine that the further the book covers are opened the smaller they become until they are less than an inch when touching behind the paper "head". Yeah I agree, it's a big thing to introduce for Graydon. I kind of was shooting for an ambiguous master/apprentice thing, in that Shandrizar might have the ego of an archmage but magically his power is reduced to zilch, so Graydon would actually be mothe master, and yet Shandrizar (who I am picturing as having been a diviner, furthering the mimir trope) would have spells to teach as they leveled.
