Message: <blockquote data-quote="(Psi)SeveredHead" data-source="post: 5453992" data-attributes="member: 1165">I was disappointed when the human lackey (a 7th-level minion) turned out to be a combatant (in terms of flavor; eg higher physical than mental stats, etc). I was expecting a highly competent butler instead. Of course, this one is only 1st-level, but as always, feel free to level up.With a minor increase to Intelligence, this minion could make a good personal assistant.

He could be a businessman or political appointee, using his leadership qualities to prod his employees into working harder, either through empathy or shouting and bullying. On the other hand, a villainous charismatic leader could be a demagogue, rousing the populace or a series of goons. (The attack bonuses he hands out makes those minions more dangerous, especially since they're also gaining their mob rule benefit.) Even a thieves' guild could use such a character, who could help pick out the best spots for hiding and giving bonuses to Stealth checks (simply add Stealth to his list of skills).Charismatic Leader; Level 1 Controller (Leader) Minion; XP 25HP 1AC 15; Fort 13, Ref 13, Will 15Initiative +1, Perception +1Standard ActionsImprovised implement (weapon) *At-Will.
