Okay, our party has a savage species character, a eldarin she has the highest Charisma in the group, and Tavey took up with her right away, now she's not very old concidering her level, so I would assume there close to the same age, so it really isn't a problem. ( I made Tavey 15 since he has 2 levels of expert)
Now the character has no real class levels so she can't really teach him to be what she is, though she is one of the parties best fighters...(lucky dice rolls) What class should I have Tavey persue ?
I would appriciate any help anyone can give me in this.
Considering that eladrins are celestials, I would think that Tavey would be inspired to go into the clergy. Or something similar--paladin, monk, etc.

What sort of Eladrin is it?
I've always considered ranger and bard to be pretty good class choices for Eladrin, although a straight fighter might work pretty well too.
I like the suggestion above about the clergy, except I think perhaps monk and paladin would be too lawful for the typical Eladrin.
If she is associated with the church of the whirling fury, then barbarian might be a good class choice.
As an aside, given that the Eladrin is a semi-immortal celestial, i think the age gap between her and Tavey would likely be very great!
The Eldarin is a Toned down Tulani using Savage Species and she has no class levels, she is just a eldarin. It was for Tavey I was looking for a class, since she started out as a first level eldarian, she is not really that old, she is relatively new to the world. The player made her the equivilant of 16 since she was 1st level, she's higher level now due to the adventure but not much older than him.
I like the idea of maybe a paladin, perhaps a champion of freedom.

Crimson, yes I see you meant the class was for Tavey - but I suppose if the Eladrin is teaching him the basics of the class it should probably be something she has an understanding of, and potentially take herself one she finishes her monster class progression.
Is the champion of Freedom the chaotic good paladin variant? Sounds like a good choice.
I'm not really familiar with Tulani, are they like the "noble" Eladrin?

Ack, I confuse myself from time to time! Yes Tulani is a noble Eldarin, they are from the Book of Exalted Deed's originally, and she's so young currently she doesn't have many of her abilities.
I can give you more information on the Tulani if you like.As I am torn in what to make him.

I've flipped through the book of exalted deeds, but don't own it. But I figure they'd have a few new types of Eladrin in there.
Is it necessary to advance Tavey in a PC class? I'm not saying its a bad idea at all, but what's your motivation behind doing so? I think in my game, Tavey will probably idolise one of the PCs, and may want to be an adventurer like them, but I might rule that he just doesn't "have what it takes" to advance as a PC class.
If the champion of freedom class you mentioned is the one I'm thinking of, it's probably a good choice for a young, innocent lad as Tavey seems to be who's taken an Eladrin as his role model.

It was mentioned that he didnt have a role after Here there be monsters, and that he could take any path from there. As Gm I am going to add him to the party since all the other character's have a grand romance with this person or that person, and there's is more a sweethearts thing than an actual romance at the moment. Also Avner has an eye on her, and Tavey has made more than one impressive roll that merit he be something, so when it was mentioned Cleric, Monk or Paladin, I figured towards the CG aligned one.
He's made a good impression on the whole group, the Shifter likes him, the Warforged calls him little brother, because he went out of his way, to get the crew to be warm to him. The two elves find him amusing and the ranger is using him as a go inbetween so he can woo Amella. That why he warrents a class.
Sounds good Crimson. I like the sweetheart angle, and it sounds like you've made Tavey a really memorable npc.
Haha, I'd love to see Tavey win the Eladrin's heart over Avner!
Yes it was surprising that the party took to him, the ranger is attempting to woo the captain, and I have various odd romances going on, one of the elves is courting Lavinia the other and Skald have similiar interests, and our gnome and Urol seem to have struck up a romance, the Shifter and Warforged aren't really to interested, the Shifter is a widow, and the Warforged is curious about human emotions.
Which leaves the Tulani girl, who was taken in by Lady Abasani(sp) as her heir. Which is another reason Avner has his eye on her, but he also thinks shes beautiful which she is, but he's a scoundrel. He's also persuing two other woman on the ship, and Tavey managed to find out about one of them because he was helping out in the rigging repairing something that had broken, and over heard it.
Avener threatend to challange the boy to a duel when he mentioned it to said Tulani when Avener was trying to woo her, and Tavey didn't back down. (Avner failed his intimidate roll). So there's a explosion waiting to happen between those two...
Sounds like there's one or two party members who would accept the challenge on Tavey's behalf if Avner ever did decide to challenge him to a duel or anything...
So are you going to make Tavey a DM controlled NPC, a cohort, or is he actually going to be run by a player as a PC?
Currently he will be a DM controlled NPC, he may become a cohort yet, and if someone decides to play him as a PC than I will let them take him over. Usually my group is good about that sort of thing.
As for sticking up for Tavey, yes Anfawnniamh the tulani has on a couple of occassions, though to all perceptions she's a teen. She was the one to threaten Avner for picking on him. She said something about feeding him to the fishies ( her fishy is a piranah she rescued and put in a bowl, she feeds it chicken) , this is also coming from the girl, who called a owlbear cuddly...she's still a teen aged girl mentally, and so the powers she does have are amazing to her.
The warforged was the one who told Avner he'd risk being dismantled and toss him over board when he saw sharks if he hurt Tavey. So the boy is covered.
hmmm... yeah, don't think she actually wants to test out her cuddly owlbear theory, I certainly wouldn't want to embrace one!
Oh no she's smarter than that but she likes animals. It was how she identified it to the party. They were ambushed in a random encounter by two owlbears. She said "Oh dear, we have two fluffy fuzzies, and there mean and dangerous too." the rest of the party didn't know what to make of that, since she initally failed her K.Nature roll and had no idea what they were. She refused to fight Gut Tugger too, and concentrated on the Lotus Dragons, because of her soft spot, makes for interesting role play.
The Paranah she knows she will have to release once it's well again. Its tried to eat her fingers twice. Our group actually thinks before it randomly kills things.
