Eventually I began to wonder if cohorts have experiance like normal PCs do (trust me, I amaware I have way to much tiome on my hands) This came about because I was wondering if you could create an artificer cohort and treat it like a 17 level eperiance well for the purposes of crafting. Is this possible?

If you are talking the xp pool for the artificer, they get that too according to all the rules.

There is a feat that lets you get twice the craft points you normally do from draining an item, so if your cohort crafts an item and then drains it, he gets an extra amount of craft points equal to the amount it costs to make the item. It sounds a little sketchy, but I will look up the feat in a moment and clean this up a bit.
