In order to balance that out a bit, I figured I'd give the PCs a companion PC. (We're running the campaign over maptools, so complexity isn't too much of an issue, so it's a slimmed down full PC.), run by the players, since DM PCs are just a pain for everyone when they stick around that long.My only real concern is if it'll overshadow the PCs. He does hit like a truck. (With a maul and inherant bonuses, that's a total of +9 to hit and 3d6+5 damage on his basic.) Being a barbarian in leather armor, he also has no defense to speak of. (And yes, I know it's a crap name. Naming is not my strength.)Thog Mul Barbarian 2HP 35 / 35 (Surges: 12 / 12)Initiative +3AC 16, Fort 17, Ref 14, Will 13Perception +0Speed 6Insight +0Equipment: Maul,Leather ArmorSTR 20 (+5) DEX 10 (+0) WIS 8 (-1)CON 16 (+3) INT 10 (+0) CHA 11 (+0)Standard ActionsHowling Strike ♦ At-willAttack: Str vs. AC (melee weapon) Target: one creature Hit: 1[w]+1d6+Str untyped damage Special: This power counts as a melee basic attack. Recuperating Strike ♦ At-willAttack: Str vs. AC (melee weapon) Target: one creature Hit: 1[w]+Str untyped damage; and you gain temporary hit points equal to your Con modifier (+3).
