Sounds pretty cool. Do you want separate avatars for each of these guys, or do you just want a brief synopsis of each on our own profiles?

The latter. They're minor characters, and they'll be around to fill out the gang and such. They may or may not be seen much, depending.
Also, they get 2 traits. If you're multiclassing adept, Magical Knack would be good.

Ok. I'll work something up over the next day or two. Look for them to be a 4th level Adept (crafter) and a 3rd/1st Expert/Warrior (sneaky thug).

I like it. Yeah, these people can be spies, thugs, crafters, or whatever else you can conjure. You can just spoiler their info on your pages.
Your leftenants are much stronger than other people in the following ways:
Leftenants may take ranks in any of 3 NPC classes: Adept, Expert, or Warrior.
They gain levels automatically, as you do, at 2/3 of your character level (rounded up).
They can multiclass as though any NPC class they take is their favored class. They cannot take levels of PC classes.
Leftenants get a standard 15 pt. buy, adjusted as normal for race, with normal race traits.
Leftenants start their 1st level at max hps.
Leftenants get standard (heroic) NPC WBL, but can also get extra treasure from you.
For example, if you're a 5th level character, your leftenants would have 4 levels (5 x .66 = 3.33, or 4 levels, rounded up, in any of 3 classes) each. One could be an Adp 1/ Exp 2/ War 1, or any other combination of the 3. She would get her favored class bonus at each level. Another could take levels of Expert, and be an Exp3/ War1, able to craft items and also be stealthy, a decent healer, and use any martial weapon, for instance. You may want them both to be warriors; not as strong as fighters of their level, but still capable of defending the gang when needed. They might both take teamwork feats to make their enemies cry.
These characters can help the gang as warriors, crafters, shamans, or anything else their skills and feats would make them good at. As with any followers, if they are mistreated or abused, you may lose the ability to replace them easily.
Treated well, they will serve you as useful, fairly tough gangsters.
Here's a sample leftenant: 15 pt buy, Human war 2/exp 1/adp 1.
HP: 10+6+5+4+ con bonus + favored class bonus, if you like (3, since all 3 classes count as favored)
Skills: Adept, Warrior, and 10 other class skills (I'd choose class skills that emulate the rogue class, myself)
All armor and martial weapons, 12 skill points before race and int. modifiers, and 3 0 and 2 1st level adept spells per day (with a 12 wisdom)
BAB: 2+.75+.5= 3.25, or 3 total.
As your personal Night Raven leftenants, they start with the lesser tattoo, but not the awesome Black Talon ones you get. They also get 2400 gp. in gear (heroic level)
A versatile and fairly tough guy for a CR 2.

Gonna set one up as a Shoe Shine... With a little store and street urchins running errands and intel. The other maybe a young lady Smith, outta the same shop... Smaller hardware.
Don't know why but the first thought in my head was Underdog when I read this.
anyway I think Noro will have at least 1 other pit fighter and probably an underworld talent scout or fighter sponser (runs betting rings and arranges fights. multiple contacts in the underground fight club scene

I never realized we had armor til you mentioned it and I went back and looked.
seems like a good choice for Noro light enough to not have to much ACP
so yes Noro would like to claim the armor if its not too late.

OK total worth of sidoze 4000gp give or take
I think I'll go with WBL auto-treasure. We did that in some 3.5 games and everybody was happy. Less work for the DM, people got what they wanted instead of a bunch of stuff they'd just sell, anyway, and with the new income stream you'll get from your network, we can assume you can get gold from that. Brightwood will give you some cash, too.
So, for the sake of convenience, everybody just buy and sell stuff up to your new wealth level, 10,500. Long lists of treasure description and RPing the trading can be fun, but we can assume that goes on in the background. This game is slow enough. Cool?

We basically give him everything since we've come up to WBL?
Yeah. Just suspend your disbelief. LOL

Cool. Another change, too. Initiative will now go in alphabetical order. Watch out for those Aasimars.

Seems like an odd way to determine initiative. I could see going strictly off of initiative modifiers, but alphabetically seems pretty arbitrary and this is from the guy who plays Andrezi.
That being said, if you still intend to go through with this alphabetical thing, can we switch out traits/feats we might have that add to what would be, under this system, our now useless initiative modifiers?

Just a heads up. My posting will be spottier than usual for the next week as I will be on vacation with my family and may not always have internet access.

I've updated my profile with Red and Ty, a fence and pickpocket respectively. Both are experts in their fields. Both keep an ear to the group for rumors to let Dert know what's up.
This thread has slowed to a crawl. I don't know what's slowing things down, but are we going to continue? We're only getting a couple of posts a week at this point.

I keep forgetting to update the henchmen.
in case it isn't know in this game...
I have been haveing some serious family issues and have been very light (more so than usual) on the posting. I try to get into the character frame of mind before I post and that has been difficult the past few days.
I can say this though..we are moving in the right direction and getting the help we need. (i don't want to go into details so please don't ask)

I wanted a short sidetrek with your new underlings, say one each, to give them a little life.
Your characters are still the headliners, but it might be fun to give the redshirts a little personality. Let me know when at least one is done.
GM Gangsta Kingpin |
It would also be cool to have a sort of headquarters. If it were me, I'd put it where no one would think to look.
You'd have to make it reasonably safe to get in and out of, of course.
