Message: <blockquote data-quote="apsuman" data-source="post: 1711488" data-attributes="member: 1769">why not a cohort from the leadership feat?It could be a gnome sorcerer with a str of 8 that is REALLY anti-social.  He likes to tinker.  Heck, he could even think that he is the master of the juggernaut.  No rules against the juggernaut having a "compartment" where the gnome lives on the inside.  Ok, lives to too strong a verb but that could be his room.Think of the gnome as being one of those sucker fish that literally live on other fish and eat the "dirt" off their host.If the gnome is too big, make it a fairy, sprite, or some other diminutive creature that really could live inside the juggernaut.  As long as they were a sorcerer with the necessary repair spells you are good to go.  Given that the parasite gets an initiative score too, they could literally be healing the juggernaut in the middle of battle.  How disheartening, to smack the juggernaut for 40 points of damage only to see the very next round that the juggernaut seemingly self heals and then still gets a full round of attacks.Hey I just thought of a new facet to this idea.  If your cohort is a fairy living principly inside the juggernaut and the juggernaut starts taking heat damage (for eample) the "parasite" could detect the stresses in her living home and cast the necessary resistance spells on the host.  If the juggernaut was stressing from a lack of strength, the parasite casts bulls str from the inside.  Same with magic weapon.  During the day, even while marching (if the rules don't prohibit) the parasite could come out of it's home and start using the craft skill to repair the juggernaut.If you really wanted a different take, or a really interesting villian, make it the other way around.  The pixie is the bad guy and the juggernaut is his cohort.  he could even think that he is "brains" of his machine.</blockquote>
