All books, all everything. I want to get some ideas that are so cool it will melt my fellow adventurer's faces off. It doesn't have to be powerful, just incredibly useful/cool/sparkly. The lower people's jaws drop the better, the only limit is don't go crazy on templates because that's bad m'kay.

My character is an Archivist/Spelldancer/Contemplative/Fatespinner... heh. Our party is wanting for nothing, we have all our bases covered and plenty of gear.

P.s: Halp!
P.p.s: Gear suggestions are welcome for added coolness also.
P.p.p.s: Haven't made a cohort before : o!

Thanks

You want peoples' jaws to drop?

So you have all kinds of gear, so you won't need an artificer cohort (though having an artificer cohort gives you something to do with random loot that you won't use...). Do you have the uber skill monkey role covered? Try to fill gaps in your party.
OOC-well for that matter he could just ride on my sword, that's about 15' ;)
OOC - That's what SHE said!  But, otherwise, that works for me, if you guys are willing.

Pixie Warlock. Your cohort is Tinkerbell, wielding the fires of Hell itself.

Yeah so I've been thinking about converting Epic Warlocks w/ the "Shades as a SP" feat and applying "The Bees" to it for this exact kind of concept...

Try a Dvati fiend of possession. ;) A +12 anything-bane, anything-slaying weapon which can be drawn as a free action, grants +7 initiative and a +3 untyped bonus to an ability score, and can cast spells? Yes please. :D

...I want to play this now.

My work
The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
Tier 1: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything and the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.[/spoiler]

Since i've been playing with the idea for a while now, you could try a initiative puller cohort.  Building a cohort with +40 or so to Initiative and white raven tactics isn't hard.  Going first is a good idea in a high level, high op game.

I'm going to have to read that thread about ten times, then get the book and look at it with a confused look on my face for a while before I begin to understand that thread. =p

We have skills covered, already had a warlock (retired it for this character) We have an Artificer too... i'll look into White Raven Tactics and this FoP thing.

Thank ye kindly.

P.s: Does that FoP idea fall apart without DMM cheese/does it rely on very loose interpretation of rules?

After reading about Dvati I can't help but think how broken they would be as a pair of ToB swordmagic monkeys, only one of the twins needs to take a standard action to refresh all skills for both of them... mmm intermeresting, but not as intermeresting as FoP.

The problem with a ToB-build would be your lack of HP ofcourse.

Hmm you could try getting perm polymorphing into something with a high con :/ but it's not really a solution.

It's still good without DMM. Your DM might hit you for the legacy champion abuse, but even with that gone as well two fiends for the price of one is still nice. Stick them both in the weapon if you can't keep divine power up.

Does putting two inside a weapon work? Would it get double the benefit o_O? I'm pretty sure my DM wouldn't allow me to put both of them in one weapon on account of them needing two seperate bodies to exist normally without problems.

If you can put one in a weapon and one in a suit of armour to gain two sets of benefits, I don't see why not. Make sure your DM has allowed you to get two sets of benefits before you ask him if you can put two in one item though.

That doesn't do anything, and hasn't for years, due to Polymorph errata.
[spoiler]
A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.
...thanks
