View Full Version : Pathfinder Rules Question: Leadership

I know it is not RAW, but I want opinions on the viability.

I have recently made a sorcerer with no combat ability. I had the idea to take the Leadership feat and instead of getting a cohort I instead have two personailities. Each "morning" I flip a coin and that personality is the dominant one with no access to the other abilities of the dormant personality.

For example:

Personality 1: Total pacifist, all spells are non damaging, massive bluff/diplomacy

Personality 2: All combat skills ray specialist who has no qualms about stealthing around with invisibility and sniping people with sneak attack rays (Is that still allowed?).

The chance to get one personality or the other is random, and having a whole other character would be balanced out by having to switch between the two, either after rest, or after a short ritual.

Is this something that could be allowed, or is it an abuse of mechanics? I would see it as being LESS powerful than a whole seperate new character, but that could be just because I want to do it.

It is neither RAW nor is it an abuse. I would allow it (although I would make it a 1st level feat for casters and a trait for noncasters).

My character is level 7 and I was going to RP a tramautic even next time I get a feat and go from there. I like the idea that it could be a first level feat, though.

I'd love some feedback from other Dm's
