[QUOTE="Zenodotus of Ephesus, post: 2342716, member: 32277"] Not many. It's been a few years and I'm not looking for advice in regard to the situation. I normally DM, have for decades, and I should have jumped ship on this DM when I realized he had a couple of pet players and the rest of us were more like NPCs he didn't want to run himself. Couple that with PCs (none of them) not really being in control of their destiny. This particular DM was more like a scene writer than a table setter, he had plans of where the PCs would wind up next and that's where they were going no matter what was being done by them. Some players enjoy that style of play but it's not for me. Regarding there being two of them, it was early, early 3.0 days and the language of the feat (often speaking of cohorts in plural) made it seem as if it could be taken more than once. As it turned out, that DM didn't want it taken even once, or so it played out. Oh, and they were standard cohorts, not dominated or magically influenced, unaccosted by the other PCs, and merely something the DM decided (after the fact) he wanted out of the game. I'd have been quite fine if he had said so up front or took me aside and asked me to take two other feats and allow the cohorts to ride off into the sunset, but neither were proposed by the DM.
