The Theocracy (recruitment closed to those posted)

[Gnome Quixote]

How about races, Warlock? Human only, or are we free to pick?

Free to pick.

Oh, I forgot to mention: cohorts use the same stats as PCs, but with NPC gear.

Sorry, 34 was a typo, I meant (as you've surmised by this time) 24 (18+2lvl +4 enhancement).
I never spend more than half my gold on an item, whether DM rules it or not.

but custom items are allowed

Urk.. OK, I'll just ignore that b/c if i don't, I'll be too tempted to break the item chart. I'll assume (For sake of balance) that you meant we can stack items/swap item spaces, as indicated in the DMG.

Hmm.. Those cohorts are looking good.... Hey Shay, mind if we add a sister?
BTW, what do you think of what I posted earlier?

I'm considering running a human warmage, but if I'm stepping on anybody's toes, let me know and I'll definitely come up with something else.

 

[Shayuri]

Er...I don't mind cohortage, I guess, but lets not expand the family if possible.

Maybe get a cool pet like a pseudodragon?

...

Or maybe I will.

Hmm!

Hey, Jemal. What do you think? Since we're going fey, should I go Beguiler, or Sorceror? I am torn. Beguilers have so many spells...and I could tweak the DC's monstrously. Sorcerors have more versatility, but a lot fewer known spells to choose from.

 

[Jemal]

That's a good question.. Personally, I'm going to be making a blaster warlock, though it's functionally a second-tier Damage dealer, second-tier caster (May have a few useful invokes), and second-tier tank.

I'm backup. A beguiler would work nicely b/c they'd synergize without overlapping, and make a bit more sense..

My cohort will be a front line fighter. And the nice thing about Thrallherd is that the max level for the cohort is (My ECL -1), so he or she will be nearly the same level as us, albeit with gear not quite as nice as ours.

Ah, Cohort+Vow of Poverty=might as well be a PC.

Same thing with a shapechanging/Wildshaping cohort. Then their lack of gear matters for naught.

Hmm, that's an interesting idea. But a VoP Paladin kinda sucks (no weapon or armor). Maybe better for a Monk.

I've updated my PC and added the Cohort on my original post on page 1 of this thread. They aren't quite done, and I still haven't received Complete Psionic, so there may yet be some changes.
