Message: <blockquote data-quote="jgsugden" data-source="post: 8942729" data-attributes="member: 2629">Why are these nobles good in combat?   Have they been there before?  It it just because they're bossy and can tell people what to do?  For me, if I needed a small number of Nobles to be good in combat, I'd start with a story.  Something simple would be that they collectively made pacts with a creature in order to gain their wealth - and thus are warlocks.  I might make their abilities ones that give them advantages when dealing with others, which is something that the Great Old One Warlocks do well with their Awakened Mind, Detect Thoughts, Clairvoyance, dominate person, and create thrall spells/abilities.  Alternatively, they might all be related and from the same sorcerer bloodline (Aberrant Mind and Divine Soul both create interesting thematic options).  You could also go with the pact idea, but not use the Warlock class mechanics.</blockquote>
