[QUOTE="Serpenteye, post: 1557481, member: 1492"] Thanks :) I'm not sure, for either RP or PowerP reasons, wether I should get a cohort. I would give up a very powerful ability to get one. You are right, my cohort would be more powerful than yours, but that's one of the few (and diminishing) benefits my character gets from not having an LA. You all already get some considerable compensation for your LA in the form of extra HPs. After I reach 21st level (and presumably Epic Level Spellcasting) my rate of power-increase will become a lot slower, most of it will come in the form of disposable treasure (and LA doesn't affect that). Most epic feats after that are rather weak compared to what non-epic characters get. You, by contrast, will increase your BaB and/or your spellcasting ability until you too reach epic levels and get your handful of powerful feats in addition to your native abilities as a superior race. My character will be weaker, rather than stronger than the others in the group. It is only in the short term that my character has the potential to be more powerful than yours. Leadership might be the equalizer I'll need, but I'm not decided. Leadership might not be apropriate for a character who would have no political power in the House or the party. How could I justify playing the greatest leader in the group while being a follower? -- Isida, my Leadership score would be 20 (lvl) + 12 (cha), but I'd get no benefit for anything above 25 with only the Leadership feat. I could get a 17th level cohort (20th at 21st level with Epic Leadership). [/QUOTE]
