Cohort



General, Leadership


Cost: 4 XP/tier

Prerequisites: Cannot already have a cohort (see Special).



You gain the service of a loyal monster or NPC called a cohort. You can design this cohort's stats just like any other monster or NPC so long as their total XP value does not exceed 12/tier of this ability. Each time you level up or increase this ability's tier you can adjust your cohort's stats as if by instant free retraining.



Multiple Companions (+1): You can have multiple cohorts, up to a maximum number equal to the tier of this ability. However, their total cumulative XP is still only 12/tier.

Special: This feat replaces the animal companion, cohort from the Leadership feat, eidolon, familiar, fiendish boon, mount class feature, phantom, special mount and similar class features and feats that normally grant a minion or cohort of some kind. The Leadership feat and features that emulate it still grant you followers but not a cohort. This feat is needed to get the cohort. If you want to gain the ability to summon your cohort to your side the way some of these features do, you can take the Summon Cohort feat or learn a calling spell.
