In my group's kingmaker campaign our dm is having us create second in commands for all our leadership positions. Basically since there is still an assumption of the players going off and advneturing, someone needs to stay behind and keep things running. We have a fairly large group, and most of the positions are filled by players, so SOMEONE has to run the kingdom.
The NPC seconds are to be one level lower then us (we are currently level 4). My character is a Magus, and I am the kingdom's General, so I have created this NPC to be my second in command. Without any spoilers, do you think this character will be useful in assisting a kingdom's general in this adventure?
