[QUOTE="bret, post: 1109709, member: 713"] True. If I didn't have a fair amount of trust in the player running the executive officer, I probably would have never tried it. In this campaign, it has been working out OK. Thanks, I appreciate it. I've put a fair amount of thought into it, trying to get the flavor right. There are plenty of examples of servants that get involved to various degrees: Haroud Hazi Bin serving Abis Mal, Jeeves serving Bernie Wooster, Norman serving Roger Smith, Alfred serving Bruce Wayne, etc. I thought it would be cool to have a PrC that makes this a much bigger role than normal. I could see doing the 'on the fly' if Silent and Still were prerequisites. I had thought of doing something like that with Subdual Substitution, but perhaps Silent and Still is more appropriate. It would preclude Bards from taking the PrC, but I don't think that most bards would be interested in this PrC anyways. I'm not sure, but it seems like just giving them the Silent and Still feats would be too much, those are useful feats for any mage. I'm pretty sure that would be unbalancing when the PrC is used for a cohort. It could even cause problems in this campaign, considering I'm working for the richest character amoungst the PCs. The class already requires quite a large investment of skill points: 19. Considering none of them are Arcana, Spellcraft, or Concentration that seems like a pretty significant investment. I am concerned that adding yet more skill requirements would make it very difficult for Sorcerers to enter, and even wizards would find it takes a hefty toll. They could get a number of languages at first level, but any they didn't would cost double. As for the feat, I smiled when I saw you suggest Cosmopolitan. My character already took it for Sense Motive. Thanks a lot, the comments help. I look forward to reading any other ideas you might have. [/QUOTE]
