Seems a bit low.
Not when you consider the economics of low level characters. That's priced to make them available to your average 8th level party, being about the same price as a suit of +3 armor. I say you're close enough. By the by, if you want to see some of the truly evil things you can do with a gryphon, see the opening battle of the last FR game, run by Tycho, and look for actions by yours truly. :D

How big is this party, anyway? Looking like a small army so far, which is kind of appropriate to your mission. *Does a head count.*

Edit: Right, eleven, possibly twelve. Okay, I'm afraid I'm going to have to cap this at 12. I hate leaving people out, but there's only so much I can handle.

Okay. I'm afraid I'm going to have to nix the ol' "The cohort also takes Leadership, as does his cohort, and so on" trick, though. :P

At 7th level, you can't attract a 6th level cohort to take the feat, IIRC, so that's kinda hard. :P

*Cheers his Wis of 5.*

Guess he's on a damn fool idealistic crusade with that wisdom... :P

Both his familiar and his mount (which, remind me, must be kept from eating the former) are wiser than he is...

Point.

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to get a co-DM at this point. I've handled a party of ten before, but 12 PCs plus followers is a lot to keep track of.

You know, I generally consider stats with a -3 or lower modifier "hopeless." You can reroll that one if you want.

I could do it if need be. Handle combat and deal with people asking"CAN I DO THIS!!!!"

I have no idea what inspired the name.

Probably horrendously fucked up, as I'm none too great with these things.

Yeah. For starters, you want to switch your Intelligence and Charisma scores if you plan on being a successful sorcerer. :P No time for further review right now. Class in four minutes. *Bolts out the door.*

Funny, you're about to get a whole new kind of pain. I'm notorious for even underpowered opposition dealing out inordinate amounts of hurt because I know how to work the d20 combat system like you wouldn't believe. :twisted: Just don't let me near a dragon. I could have one four challenge ratings lower than the party level turn the party into lunch meat. :D

Should I just leave the details on that to the DM then? :lol: I wasn't sure if I would take something like a bird of prey or a feline. I'm partial to both.

Now, just give me a chance to get home and roll her up. The past couple of days, by the time Nit and I got home I was too exhausted to do more than fall asleep. Hopefully tonight I can do more :lol:
