Pre-Leadership chumps
Hey guys, I'm looking for information about acquiring chumps or 'cohorts' as they prefer to be called, pre-leadership levels.
If I recall correctly, there is a feat to acquire an animal companion, and one to get a familiar, but I'd like to find some info about getting a bodyguard if it exists.
I'm writing up a backup character for my current one, and was thinking of playing an aristocrat because it's silly, but I'd like a semi competent bodyguard so I'm not entirely useless in combat.
Any ideas?Last edited by Squidfist; 2012-04-02 at 11:42 AM.

Well, trained hirelings include "mercenary warriors." The minimum wage for that entry is 3sp/day. "Significantly higher pay" would probably apply to higher-level (read: has a few levels in Warrior or a PC melee class) bodyguards. Check with your DM for actual prices.

Get one of the other players in the party to make a fighter?

Re: Pre-Leadership chumps
I'd like a guard I can boss around, and find it unlikely anyone in the group would want to play a character that would have to listen to everything I say.
I could go the wild cohort route, and get a guard dog or something, but that's not nearly as good as a guy that can wear armor.

Re: Pre-Leadership chumps
one could try to make the arguement that a person of an equal CR to an animal would be mechanically the same, but flavourwise much ore suitable. Also, if you just shell out the bones and pick up a couple of grunts, since one body guard is likely to be insufficient if your character expected to be going about dangerous business.

Consider a 5' radius blast: this affects 4 squares which have a circumference of 40' — Actually it's worse than that.
