[QUOTE="Storyteller01, post: 2962043, member: 20931"] In a nut shell!! It isn't that I'm crippling the cohort (she's still capable of doing what the character wants), or that I'm punishing the player. If you read chaositech, lots of things go wrong with those who use it or are exposed to it over long periods. My bbeg's and their group uses this stuff almost exclusively. Per the plot, this character has VERY loose ties to the antagonists (his god was one of them before it was killed). This player wanted access. When I denied his ability to simply go and buy the items, he came up with this approach. Anyways, the insanity is an inherent part of anyone using the stuff. He created the cohort to not only have her use it, but to make it for him (knowing full well the consequences for him, the cohort, and the other players such as warping their ship). The other players didn't mind in the vote (and even seem to be looking forward to the roleplaying opportunities), so I balanced it with this ruling. [/QUOTE]
