Twin Infinities OOC

Actualy, I wanted a rundown on how to use the power(s), ect.

Me: Make a DC 18 check.
Target: Failed, ok, what happens.
Me: um...

Doesn't work well

What does Symbiosis and Dazzling Beauty do?

Well symbiosis is now in the reference file, as for dazzling beauty I have no idea.

If they fail the save, Dazzling Beauty dazzles them (not being facetious here--there is a condition called dazzle) whenever they try to attack the Nymph.

Symbiosis lets them reenergise themselves based on the Nymph type (so Lampaids would do this by curling up near a beautiful natural feature underground. They also gain 1 hit point per round from this as a full-round action, and if they do it enough, they can avoid the need to eat anything or to sleep more than 2 hours.

Well it is how it works after all, otherwise they would always be a liability to the party.

That's why a cohort receives XP (usually), and isn't just raised when a PCs leadership score goes up (DMG pg. 104-105).

It works the same for followers. If your leadership score goes down after you recruit followers they don't immediately leave, but you can't replace them if they die or whatever if your new leadership score wouldn't allow it.

Hmm...I don't think its clear either way on this, which makes me feel less like an interloper for using the new interpretation

Well I see it this way...it says attract in every section, but never mentions control.

See Replacing Cohorts and Followers (DMG pg. 105)

But then it uses the -2 Level rule from the attracting sidebar to explictly limit XP in the other section, so it would seem as if it should apply other effects of low Leadership as well (though perhaps not--this has not come up in my campaigns, even though they make extensive use of Leadership, simply because the characters always had enough Leadership to keep a cohort of 2 levels lower).

That's right a cohort must start 2 or more levels lower than the PC, and by gaining XP can never get closer than 2 levels lower than the PC.

Example: If I had a 10th level character with a +4 Charisma bonus, I'd have a leadership score of 14, but could only recruit a character of 10th level. This character could then rise via XP to be within 2 levels of the PC.

If nothing else this gets my post count up.

Well sorta, and I do agree.

Everyone in Viridian Plague, let me know if you think its OK if we let Pleione continue to level to stay two levels behind Slagg, regardless of his Leadership score, assuming she is played by me as a DMPC.

I don't mind, assuming my Dragon buddy also gets XPs at the same conditions . Which classes are available to him?

By the way: I finished posting Troubadour and Ronin. Yay!

W00t! Time for me to get to work then.

By the way, couple of queries: what would a 4th lvl Rowaini get in the way of starting cash? And would the Troubadour get the same weapon & armour proficiencies as a Ranger?

That sounds fair to me.

That sounds fair to me.

As long as he's no longer the best there is at what he does . . . then it's okay with me.
