Can someone please explain to me how my cohort has changed as per the new LGCS? I am little confused and would love someone to help me with this.

Many thanks,

Elite array unless the stats are specified by a cert. Done.

presumably if your intelligence changes, you adjust skills accordingly too.

But yeah. They were proposing a more radical change and people like me moaned and cried about it and they stuck with the main thing :)

My cohort's pretty ok. She needs cloak of cha a bit sooner than I originally wanted which will be rather tight when she's level 12 and needing a +4 cloak instead of just taking her statbump and a +2 cloak, but gains 4 points of dex net/net. You win a little, you lose a little.

what is the elite aray? Or should I just ask is it the same as making a cohort before? 22 points, use the leadership score as usual? Sorry, jsut want to make sure my cohort is ok to play with the new rules. I a little lost on this topic.

Elite array is 15,14,13,12,10, and 8 arranged as you want for ability scores before racial adjustments.

The Elite Array is in the MM. Basically, you put the numbers into each ability slot, wherever you choose, then apply racial modifiers. The numbers are: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8

Works out to be a 25 point buy, so is better in some ways than the old ways, but you lose the ability to put the points where you want to, so no more cheesed-up one stat cohorts.
