I don't even think you have to put his attack's damage as low as you do, the typical level 1 monster will do something like 2d6+1 or 1d6+4 or something like that, with ranged attacks usually a bit on the low end, especially if its a secondary ranged attack from a skirmisher, so maybe 1d4+4 with the Blowgun and 1d6+4 with the Thick Stick would not be out of line. Of course if you want to keep his attacks really distinctly weak that's not going to hurt a lot. Just remember, XP-wise a Companion Character counts for XP budget, so they shouldn't be too much weaker than PCs, just designed not to be popping out a big nasty strike that say kills off the bad guy (inevitably even the weakest NPC/CC will eventually do something cool, but that's OK). Also, remember, CCs DO get XP and can level (you have to decide exactly what new capabilities they may get now and then as they go up), though you may not keep one around long enough for its stats to change much.</p></blockquote><p></p>
