You attract followers to your cause and a companion to join you on your adventures.
Prerequisite: Character level 7th.
Benefits: This feat enables you to attract a loyal cohort and a number of devoted subordinates who assist you. A cohort is generally an NPC with class levels, while followers are typically lower level NPCs. See Table: Leadership for what level of cohort and how many followers you can recruit.
Leadership Modifiers: Several factors can affect your Leadership score, causing it to vary from the base score (character level + Cha modifier). Your reputation (from the point of view of the cohort or follower you are trying to attract) raises or lowers your Leadership score:
| Leader's Reputation | Modifier |
|---|---|
| Great renown | +2 |
| Fairness and generosity | +1 |
| Special power | +1 |
| Failure | –1 |
| Aloofness | –1 |
| Cruelty | –2 |
Other modifiers may apply when you try to attract a cohort, as listed below.
| The Leader... | Modifier |
|---|---|
| Has a familiar, special mount, or animal companion | –2 |
| Recruits a cohort of a different alignment | –1 |
| Caused the death of a cohort | –2* |
| * Cumulative per cohort killed. | |
Followers have different priorities from cohorts. When you try to attract a follower, use the following modifiers.
| The Leader... | Modifier |
|---|---|
| Has a stronghold, base of operations, guildhouse, etc. | +2 |
| Moves around a lot | –1 |
| Caused the death of other followers | –1 |
