Oh sweet I can rate posts now. Holy crap, this is much better than steam forums.
This place lacks most of the retards that visit Steam, buttons are just the icing on the cake.

Speaking of which I love reading shit like
Exceptional Stats (Ex) Baba Yaga was born a perfect specimen of humanity. As a result, her ability scores were generated using 25 points, rather than using the standard 15 point buy used to create most NPCs.
And then fucking Octavia has, what, 29 pt buy?

There's no real need or advantage to it, I guess. Custom companions have stupid levels of point buys anyways.

If everyone were on the same level for point buys and you could use mercenaries as advisors, I'd totally do a run with my own pose.

YOU CAN USE mercs as advisors,what version of the game are you playing?
just wanna dump amiri and valerie and make a slayer merc.

Why? What's wrong with the story companions?

valerie cant hit the side of a barn and amiri cant tank even if her life depends on it.

everyone else is excellent,tristian for healing/linzi for buffing/ekundayo for machine gunning/jubilost for force nades etc.

Slayers aren’t tanks. Playing Amiri as Slayer right now. She’s great - just whupped Armag’s ass.

Use Unity Console to boost the relevant ability score by 8 points, to offset the penalty

if you build them they are,dex plus 1 lvl monk splash for wis to ac.

Please. You can do that with any class. If you can't hit the broadside of the barn with a full BAB class don't blame Val and I don't even know what you're doing with Amiri, but mercs are the last item on the list of things that'll help you. You're barking up the wrong tree and wasting time that would be better spent learning how to play better.

You can see the results above of Linzi landing a Hold Monster:

Linzi Hold Monster.jpg

Using her new Ring of Reckless Courage to hit 22 DC. Earlier she hit two out of three with a Slow to make things a lot easier.

Against Womb Owlbear pre-Ring:

Nok-nok "tanking" the Big One:

NokNok Tanking Lvl 22 Owlbear-like Treant.jpg

You can see the results of Slayer Crippling Strike taking his STR bonus down at this point from 22 to 17. Against less ridiculous mobs it takes a big chunk out of their hit chances and CMD. Was really missing Freebooter and Death From Above that fight or he might have been down a lot further.

Harrim now at +15 Initiative to get debuffs in early:
