Leadership (Apath Feat)

Unofficial rules compendium

Leadership (General)

Revision

Benefit: You have build a close relationship with a cohort, to the point where they are devoted to you and will serve you full-time or in dangerous situations, including accompanying you on adventures. They still take secondary positions and might not always be available, often acting as guards and support more than heroes. Such a cohort has a stat block (15 point build, no free traits), which is the player's responsibility to maintain, and come equipped with gear to normal NPC wealth levels, at no cost to you.

Normal All characters can use the Leadership feat (without the level restriction) to recruit a cohort and followers as outlined in that feat, but while such cohorts and followers are loyal to you, they are not completely devoted. They still mostly live their own lives, and work for your character within the limits of their normal lives. You can employ these characters in positions of authority. They will act as your agent, craft for you at cost, and take reasonable risks in the pursuit of this role, but they are not heroic and will not engage in obviously dangerous actions. They will specifically not follow you on adventures except in exceptional circumstances. Normal cohorts and followers are not normally given a detailed stat block, as they do not need this level of detail.

The situational modifiers for cohorts and followers are not used. If you have a cohort of the same class you are and followers in the same general career (temple, fighting school, mage college, thieves guild, etc), you can use your highest attribute score instead of Charisma when calculating your leadership score.
