Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vespasian" data-source="post: 1639143" data-attributes="member: 21060">I am making a 6th level bard who is the captain of a small galley (15 oars to side and a crew of 100) he has taken the leadership feat and I am having trouble deciding on what my cohort should be. I have thought about a halfling sorcerer, but that would mean that he would have a high charisma too (at least as high as mine is at 16) which could lead him to challenge my leadership purposely or even inadvertantly. This problem lead me to think about an Ogre fighter or barbarian, but the group already has two good 6th level fighters and my cohort would only be 4th, plus the fact that he would be quite stupid and I want my cohort not to be follower as much as a friend to my bard. I do not want a paladin, druid, wizard or ranger because they would not fit in very well and the setting has no gnomes. A cleric would be an obvious choice that I haven't ruled out, but my character isn't religious so I don't see them being good friends. A rouge would be nice, but if he were to be a large benefit to the party (as a dungeon crawling rouge would be so he could disarm traps and sneak around) he would seem out of place in a pirate ship. What do you guys think of my ideas and/or do you have any good ones that would fit in to the setting and as my character's friend? (The power and benefit of the character isn't as important as the role playing aspect, but I don't want my cohort to be useless)</blockquote>
