Message: <blockquote data-quote="ARandomGod" data-source="post: 1892345" data-attributes="member: 17296">A fellow player in a campaign I'm in is discussing various possible cohorts for his PC. One would be a nymph druid (The character in question is half-nymph, for story reasons, so nymphs would be quite reasonable).His question about this is:"I was wondering whether nymph druid spellcaster levels stack with druid class spellcaster levels.  Nymphs normally cast spells as a 7th level druids.According to Improving Monsters in the srd:Associated Class LevelsClass levels that increase a monster’s existing strengths are known as associated class levels. Each associated class level a monster has increases its CR by 1. A spellcasting class is an associated class for a creature that already has the ability to cast spells as a character of the class in question, since the monster’s levels in the spellcasting class stack with its innate spellcasting ability."Another thought he's had is a gnome Mystic Theurge, which already exists in the character's background and therefore there's an easy story reason for him to become a cohort as well.The idea there is that he would be a great support for spells and item creation. Item Creation is where my second question comes is. As I understand it, cohorts don't actually have experience per se. So, where does the XP used for item creation come from? Is there an existing actual rule for this? If so or if no, how have your group(s) handled this before?</blockquote>
