Is there any way to have a cohort of a higher level then your level -2? I know about Noble Scion but that is a massive level sink for a +2 to level on your cohort. Im asking because we just hit level 18 and I wanted to trade out one of my feats for the leadership feat and get a dragon cohort. But Being level 18 and only having a dragon that is only CR seems really impossible. Not only will everything auto pass the saves but it will most likely be sniped and killed in a instant. Its as strong and maybe weaker then a level 18 wizard's familiar.
