So here is a weird one for all of you, I want to make a Wizard in an upcoming campaign who "experiments". Creating new spells, poisons, creatures, etc (he wants power to kill the gods... I don't plan for this to work, it's role play :p).
We are starting at level 11 and I'd like him to have a successful experiment as a body guard (a loyal one).
I have been doing some research and found some options but they don't seem to work for what I am doing (role play wise). The Leadership feat could work (eventually gaining "World Breaker" followers) but I'd like to have complete control over the creation of the cohort (as it is a experimental humanoid). I've seen Thrallherd and Undead Leadership (both lacking in what I'd like). I have also seen the level 6 Enchanter Variant Wizard, which could work, but the idea is a loyal experiment, not someone who I have enchanted to serve (which was the impression I had from the variant).
The actual Cohort is just some large creature, with Abberant Limb Arms (I already have the OK from the DM) who wields medium scythes (or large sickles, they end up being the same thing stat wise). I'd like him to either be a large human or something that looks human (Half Ogres look human... ish, they can be sarcastic pricks right?).
Eventually I'd like to have followers as experiments as well (taking people in, experimenting on them and granting them boons. Like say; killing a beholder, ripping out it's organs and transplanting them into willing participants (or unwilling criminals... either way I'd erase their memories) to gain some kind of power from the transplant... even if they go blind or something).
I'd like to know what suggestions you all have, the leadership feat is the closest I have seen to what I want (even using Followers as experiments as well, the role play is in creating them... which would take a long while, which is perfect) but I feel like it is missing something and I worry that there is a better option out there. We have a LOT of source books (I cannot remember them all, it is well over 10 of them) so we should have access to most things.
If this has been mentioned somewhere else already I am sorry but I couldn't think of any way to word this question in a search engine (google has been no help, for once).
