[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 1549572, member: 4441"] Well, for the tiefling (who would be effectively 10th level) I could see an Expert/Rogue or something like that. Also, you have 15 1st level followers and 1 2nd level follower. Assuming you have something like a 3 story townhouse, four bedrooms (one subdivided into servent's quarters), attic, basement, parlor, dining room, kitchen, laundry, receiving room, and a small garden, I assume you would have a cook, two maids, a gardener who would do the heavy lifting, as well as your tiefling cohort who would act as a butler and run the household. That leaves you 11 more 1st level followers and a 2nd level one. I would assume you would have a network of people in many stratas of society that could feed you any information you desire (probably many of them are other people's maids or whatnot, those who are invisible yet know everything). They might report to the head of your spy network (your 2nd level guy, a rogue probably), who would in turn report to the tiefling, and then he would tell you. Now, because you're a Mindbender, and these are your followers, I'm going to assume that they work for you more out of love than money. So you're going to get a discount on your staff costs. In addition, since Eradiel is a great lover of beauty, I would assume she would go for excellent food, fine herbs to perfume your bed linens, fine wine, the occasional party, that kind of thing. So let's say you have to pay 50 gold a month in household costs. You pay your domestic staff a total of 6 gold a month (I assume their food and clothes come out of the household budget). Your spy network costs you 35 gold a month. Your butler serves you out of love, but he has 15 gold a month to do with what he pleases. So that's a total of 106gp a month for your staff and home. As for your familiar: [B]Familiar: Claire, small owl[/B] [as a White-faced Scops Owl, small grey, nocturnal, white face surrounded by black edging and large ear-tufts, orange eyes, 6" high] Hit Dice: 10d8 (20 hp); Init: +3 (dex); Speed: 10 ft, fly 40 ft (average); AC: 20 (+2 size, +3 dex, +5 natural); Attacks: Claws +8 melee; Damage: Claws 1d2-2; Face: 2 1/2 x 2 1/2; Reach: 0 ft; SQ: low-light vision, improved evasion, share spells, empathic link, touch spells, speak with master; Saves: Fort +2; Ref +5; Will +10; Abilities: Str 6, Dex 17, Con 10, Int 8, Wis 14, Cha 4; Skills: Listen +14, Move Silently +20, Spot +6 (+8 racial to spot in dusk and darkness); Feats: Weapon Finesse (claws), Alertness The +2 to Move Silently should be calculated into your own skills. Put it down even if you don't have ranks in it. Hit points for a familiar are always half the master's. Hit dice is the master's hit dice. Familiar has master's BAB (in your case your familiar has Weapon Finesse, so her Dex is added to her claw attack).

Obviously it may not be able to use all of your skills (for example, if you had Open Lock). And I just realized that I'm really tired, so I will finish up your items and cohort tomorrow. :) [/QUOTE]
