Eldritch Knight.And from Complete Mage, my favourite Fighter-Mage class: Abjurant Champion.And now for some quotesWhile I disagree that it's required, there are two things I wanted to say.Mechanically, cutting the chain would destroy them b/c it's part of the magical Item.Thematically, I doubt most DM's would have a problem with doing so and just calling them 'bracers'I Personally disagree with taking feats ONLY for backstory purposes.  99% of the time the same function and fluff can be gained simply with good storytelling.  Especially in a setting like this where the whole "Dead for thousands of years" thing is a VERY good way of explaining why you USED to be an epic leader of men but don't have any followers with you know... They've all been dead for millenia.*Paraphrased from the ELH* Optional rule: Exceptional followersNormally You can only attract members of the Warrior, Expert, or Commoner classes.  Using this optional rule, Adept or Aristocrats count as followers two levels higher, any follwer with even a single level in a PC class counts as THREE levels higher, and a follower with any levels in a prestige class counts as FIVE levels higher./snipIt's under the Epic Leadership Section, and apparently I was underquoting originally.  Your tenth lvl followers could be 7th lvl PC classes or 5th level with a PRC(If you could find any for which they meet the Requirements by then) The references to Multiples are there so you can REPLACE a cohort who has died or otherwise left your services.  I don't think you'll find many who read it as saying you can have any number of cohorts (And if they do, they're wrong. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />) Not.  Even.  Saying. It. If you're going to be making attacks, Extra BAB is always useful, though as Shayuri pointed out, Weapon Spec isn't all that impressive.. Although it's still a USEFUL feat, and becomes more useful the more attacks you can make in a round.Don't know much about the auras but why would a PrC stop his progression if a base class such as Fighter wouldn't?  Do Auras specifically state that they progress with all base classes but not PrC's?</blockquote>
