I am currently playing in a group with 1 rogue (me), 1 ranger, 1 mage, and 1 cleric.

We are playin in the age of worms campaign and as many people know that campaign is quite challenging (and very fun). One question I had is our bard is considering taking leadership in an attempt to get a cleric as a cohort

my main questions is will this throw off the balance of the game? Since Cohorts o not "leech" xp away from the rest of the group, there would be almost no downside away from having a cohort with the group.

My group likes to steal/sell/take EVERYTHING from things they kill, and as such money is not a problem for this group, and they can fully outfit their addition with enough armor/items to keep him alive and well..

So, would a cleric that is always 2 levels lower than the group be a game breaking addition, since it would dramatically improve the in combat (and out of combat) healing of our group?

thanks for your responses and opinions

the games monsters can always scale up slightly even though it is a premade adventure it still leaves enough breathing room that it shouldnt be to bad.
