I set them up so that their abilities fill the roles the party needs to fill - sometimes better than the players would on their own because I have a sense of what they will need. I also try to make them reasonably creative but easy to run. But I make sure I don't take more than 15-30 minutes doing it. HeroForge helps a lot in this case. Really, it doesn't take much more than that.In general, I have no problem with the DM being involved a LOT in character generation and advancement, and not just of cohorts. It's part of my job as a referee to know what the PCs are, can do, and help the players have a good time. If this involves making some suggestions or helping the player make a workable character, i'll do it.</blockquote>
