And, in typical fashion, I don't just want to play what's written down.My PC is a human monk and a master of improvised weapons. I had originally wanted to take the Vow of Poverty from Book of Exalted Deeds but the DM figured it too overpowering (rightfully so, especially at low levels). After a little back and forth, there's nothing to stop me from having a vow of poverty and silence as roleplaying tools so long as I can find a way to keep up with the group. So I'm thinking of a sidekick... of sorts.He would have someone traveling with him acting as the faithful companion. Haven't worked out the race yet (possibly halfling) but he would be an NPC only and never take on an active role in the adventure. The sidekick would speak on the monk's behalf and act as his agent, so to speak, securing negotiations for adventures in exchange for the monk's share of the bounty. And the monk would not be forbidden from using a magic item from time to time but does not claim ownership over anything.From where I sit, this all sounds well and good and would be allowed in my campaign but I wanted to shoot the idea out there to get feedback and suggestions. Too much?</blockquote>
