Your cohort doesn't even have to be a crafter after that, so he no longer needs to spend feats for it, and is higher level, and the only penalty is apllied to a now random dead guy. that concept sort of bothers me a little. Specially since the DM didn't give a one level cap on lowering your XP. Ex. If you drop a 28th level cohort to 25th level, you gain 78,000 free crafting XP. This then allows you to pay 975,000 gp and get an item with the equivical value of 1,950,000. Then follow up with a swap in Cohorts, or if you have no intended abuse in mind, your cohort's accidental death. 1d4 months later you have a new 28th level cohort, AND a nearly 2,000,000 gp item. No gameplay abuses required. Its sort of like an investment.</blockquote>
