[QUOTE="DiFier, post: 890775, member: 2345"] A little back ground. I am in a 2 person campaign. My charachter is a fighter/wizard/spellsword and The other charachter (Dru) is a fighter/Rogue/wizard slayer. we started out as members of the Freeport city watch. At 6th level we took the leadership feat and got a promotion on the force, heading up the SCU Special Crimes Unit. The DM then created 5 other watchmen who were the rest of the unit. they were NPC cohorts/followers who answered to us but we not totally loyal to us. (not that they we disloyal) after Dru left the watch to joint with her father (the head of a major crime organization) Dru played my cohort one of the members of the SCU and I created a member's of the nialo organization as her bodyguard/cohort. then when we were sold into slavery and shipwrecked Dru's created her cohort. my cohort was created by the DM. Dru's was a elven Bard mine was a holy warrior (?) sorta a chaotic paladin. I think that they were both 3 or 4 levels below our levels tho Dru could of had a more powerful one (higher charisma score) then we had a cleric and the bard. When we start playing again (after 3.5 comes out) we will be seperated for a while so we each created a cohort for the other's charachter. and i will be playing Dru's chort and She will be playing mine. I think that Cohorts are essential for campaigns with low number in the party. Our DM suggested that we both take leadership. Having bards and clerics as Cohorts was extremely useful. Since neither of us had access to divine magic. There were many time when we were really hurting and they were really useful. they sucked in battle and rarely hit anything. but we would have been so hurting with out them. For us the Dm roleplays them and We sometimes deciede their combat actions. sometimes it is a group effort. [/QUOTE]
