@firepyre: Sure, Milena can be the second in command.<em>Someone</em>has to write all those loopholes into the mercenary contracts.  :P<br/><br/>@Annaamarth: In combat, there's basically no overlap between our characters. Heck, Milena would probably love to have someone who can set up easy coup attacks for her.<br/><br/>Outside combat, I feel like we're both trying to do the same thing. Milena uses Profession in place of Diplomacy and Bluff so she<em>technically</em>has a +13 to both of those (and so does her snake, funnily enough.) Between her good Sense Motive and Khaldrash's Intimidate, I feel like we already have all the social stuff covered.<br/><br/>I'm not going to say you can't be in the group or anything because of that, but it's up to you and firepyre if it's worth doubling up on that niche.
