Hello,
I was wondering what would be the level a character whith the leadership feat would need to have to get either a troll or a harpy as a cohort, both with class levels.
To develop things a bit : I am the DM, and the two possibles cohort have both a "defect" that, as far as i'm concerned, would lower their effectual CR by 1.
-The harpy had her throat slashed a long time ago, and the hit destroyed her throat so bad that she can't use her captivating song anymore. She also speak in a raspy voice, but that is a thing that has no concern with the rules, so ...
Other than that, she his a 2nd level alchemist.
-The troll is very old, so his regeneration isn't what its used to be, and he only get 2 hp back per round, instead of the usual 5. He is a 4th level oracle. He also has all the usual stats adjustments for an old character.
I was thinking it would be right to have the harpy available at level 9, and the troll at level 11, but it is more gut feeling than rules study on my part, so ...
Thanks in advance.
