[QUOTE="Bront, post: 3536301, member: 19696"] That example dumps all non-esental stats though, so there's no real flavor in the Cohort either. And, as a wizard, that caster's marginal direct effectiveness is negligable (DC14 save on a 2nd level spell isn't that exciting vs 6th level opponents). The 28 point buy turns that into 10,14,14,16,10,10, which isn't that much better, but the cohort can at least carry something, and cast a bit more effectively. Of course, you could be a bit more flexable and go 8,14,14,16,12,10 or even the odd 8,14,14,16,8,14. The 28 point buy affords you a bit more flexability on already limited survivability. As for the PC caravan thing, I'm not against that, but other than his "sister", I don't know of any other freefolk PCs. And he has 2 specific NPCs in mind as potential cohorts. I just thought it would be kinda cool for him to go full circle from leaving to save one, to starting his own, more as a background thing. He also hopes to travel into the desert at some point.
