House Drake Majenko

[FadetoBlack]

My PCs rescued Majenko last night. We're using the updated book which has a fantastic picture of him next to an expansive stat block.

My question is, are there options for leveling/enhancing him somewhere? The wizard in the party is the one who has him and I haven't been able to find anything about leveling house drakes.

I remember reading here before about people giving Majenko levels in various classes but I don't know where the rules for that are. Thanks in advance!

If you take him on as a Leadership feat cohort, you'd give him class levels.

My party comp is: druid (deinonychus animal companion), wizard (now has Majenko), TWF rogue, paladin of Iomedae (working on figuring out Divine Mount rules).

I'm a little concerned I'm gonna effectively have 3 characters with animal companions in a few levels. Will letting him have leadership with Majenko create big problems for me or is it designed to accommodate him?

[Lakesidefantasy]

I'm not a fan of leadership myself, but that is a different discussion.

The best thing for your wizard to do is to take Majenko as an improved familiar using the Improved Familiar feat. Majenko will then use the same rules for progression as any other familiar.

I actually had Majenko start taking Wizard levels to help fill the hole in the party's versatility when they lost their Wizard. I maintained executive veto powers on in combat Majenko decisions, to keep him from outshining the party I mostly had him be a buffing wizard who had a lot of utility spells as well, but not utility spells that would negate the role of any PCs class.

"The Great Majenko!!" became well loved by the party and their players.

At least I think they liked him. :P

Yeah we have a support druid and a support wizard already so an animal companion would probably be enough for us lol

Majenko is awesome! He does help our party out a bit with scouting and guided some rescued people to the guard while we were busy.
