What are some pro's and con's here?
Familiars will get improved evasion, empathic link, speak with master, better natural ac, etc. Have lousy hp and overall limited usefulness as levels increase
Cohort would have better hp, actual job abilities, probably more useful. Party will bitch about splitting xp
Party consists of a warblade/bloodstorm blade, VoP monk/psychic warrior, scout/ranger and myself a wizard. We have an npc cleric with us. Job recommendations for impy?
Any 3.0 or 3.5 WotC book allowed, 3rd party and Dragon at DM approval.
