Hey Paxus, what book is the insectile template in?

Savage Species, page 122.

Ok. Lemme see here. Now if I have everything calculated correctly, Tierak can have an ECL 16 cohort yes? (ECL for a Thaumatugist Planar Cohort can be no higher than level-2)

Now a blade-breaker's ECL is 7 (CR 5, +2 LA). An insectile template gives a +2 ECL. And then he has 8 character levels. His total ECL is currently: 17. Will you please reduce it by one? And the wealth by a similar amount? Thanks.

ECL has nothing do with CR. ECL is CL + LA, and CL is equal to racial hit dice + levels.

I was understanding the level requirement of the thaumaturge to be based on ECL, so as to allow up to an ECL 18; after all, if its ECL counts against it, mine should count for it. If that understanding was incorrect, I can correct it.

Also Dalamar is correct. (and stole most of my post.)

so as to allow up to an ECL 18; after all, if its ECL counts against it, mine should count for it.

The entry uses the leadership feat, if you read the last line it states that you cannot have a planner alley and a cohort from leadership, and your leadership score is calculated via your Character Level and not effective level. (Also a cohort is limited to be two levels (Including their ECL) lower than your character level. It’s harsh but a cohort isn’t supposed to outshine everyone else and this limits his or her ability to do so.)

Kilcif's leadership score is 5 levels lower cause of this rule.

The blade breaker is from Legacy of the Dragons, by Monte Cook (with contributions from fans, including our beloved DM).

Really? Isida any reason why you never said anything about that? I would have gotten it by now. (easy enough to fix.) What in the book was your creation?

Edited: Ordered

What do you think is the LA of a vampire spawn? Since they are not a template creature, they have 4 HD of undead, and undead hit dice are crappy. I'm thinking something along the lines of +2 to +4 would be approriate, considering that all of their abilitie are at half-strenght or less compared to a normal vampire

On the other hand, I'm considering having two normal vampire of 10th level instead, maybe rogues or fighters. It'd ease out the number or characters.

Dalamar, I honesty don't have a clue... The quick answer would be half the vampire but that would be way to high. They have all the weakness and such so I would go 2.

Anyhow, I'm sort of curios how many front line fighters we have... I have Kilcif basically set up for being a frontline fighter but maybe I should look more at being an archer. What does everyone else think?
