[QUOTE="Greatwyrm, post: 733503, member: 479"] 1. I'd let the PC build the Cohort, but the DM still gets veto power. After all, the PC is paying for the Cohort with a feat slot. The player should have a strong say in the Cohort's generation. 2. Sure. 3. Plenty of ways to go with this. The PC may go hunting for the Cohort, having heard of his reputation (I like this one the least, seems backward). Better to have the Cohort seek out the PC, looking for fame and glory or wishing to enlist for his cause. Failing all that, there's always the old "Thanks for rescuing me from that Orcish Sous Chef. Can I follow you around and help kill stuff?" 4. For the most part, a Cohort should be very loyal to the PC. Not necessarily to the point of self-sacrifice in a you-or-me situation, but a Cohort certainly shouldn't abandon a PC during a tough fight. [/QUOTE]
