One-Player Party


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


So I got bored and started building a char; like I always do and made these two combinations; note whenever I build a char I build up to level 20 even if the char never gets that high so I don't waste time leveling the char later:

Level 20 TN Human Cavalier - Esquire
Level 18 NE Tiefling Fighter (Aide-De-Camps)
Level 18 NG Aasimar Oracle - Lunar (Leadership Feat)
Level 20 Celestial Tiger (Used the Aasimar favored class alt to raise to level 20 and the Primal Companion Revelation to initially get as well as the Celestial Servant Feat to give it the template)

The other combination is:

Level 20 TN Human Cavalier - Esquire
Level 18 NE Tiefling Ranger (Aide-De-Camp)
Level 18 Tiger Pet (Boon Companion feat used)
Level 18 NG Aasimar Oracle - Lunar (Leadership Feat taken)
Level 20 Celestial Tiger (Used the Aasimar favored class alt to raise to level 20 and the Primal Companion Revelation to initially get as well as the Celestial Servant Feat to give it the template)

While not the most min-maxed build created it did essentially create a party controlled by one player; yes technically the Aide-De-Camp, Cohort, and their pet(s) are NPCs that the DM could control and do with as he will, but everyone knows how people feel when the DM takes control of something that is essentially yours. Also, the favored class ability for the Aasimar doesn't state that you can't raise the level of the pet above your own; though I can understand why people would say you couldn't and lowering to level 18 would be as easy as removing the ability.

Aasimar Favored Class alt: Oracle Add +1/6 to the oracle’s level for the purpose of determining the effects of one revelation.

This also includes the hit to your leadership score for essentially having two companions and I didn't see anything that stated there was a hit to your leadership score for you cohorts having pets; I assume this is because the pets are from the companions and not you the player.

So is my build correct or did I miss something in the rulings that would alter this?

The Fighter/Ranger is from a class ability while the Oracle is from a feat. So, at no point did I take the leadership feat more than once.

Also, are there other ways to achieve the One-Player Party without getting too janky; example: I take the leadership feat, then my cohort takes it, and my cohort's cohort takes it... etc. etc..
