OOC: Wasn't that in 3.0? I can't find mention of that in the 3.5 books or SRD.Rystil Arden said:(OOC: You know that under standard RAW, Followers can only be Commoners, Warriors, and Experts, right? Using an optional variant rule from the Epic Level Handbook, you can replace a normal 3rd-level follower with a 1st-level Wizard)

I think they accidentally left out the limitation because they were being thoughtless.(I'm pretty sure that this limitation has been removed in 3.5)

OOC: The LEW Leadership already restricts followers as noncombatants that can't appear in adventures though, so I doubt there'll be that much trouble.Rystil Arden said:We clearly should not allow Followers with PC classes though, or else we have serious problems, including Followers that are just as powerful as cohorts in edge cases )

OOC: I'm not sure if I'm just tired (past midnigth here), but you need Leadership score of 18 to have a 4th level follower, so I'm not really seeing a problem. And those 30 1st-level Wizards aren't allowed to appear in adventures.Rystil Arden said:(OOC: Then they were being silly. As is, if you back Rinaldo up to level 6, pretend that he had slightly more Charisma (requires Charisma 20 to pull off this trick, so a +2 item and starting 18), he could have had a Follower who was just as powerful as Hogarth (level 4 Cleric), and 30 1st-level Wizards can be a horror if armed with wands.
Wait, Level 6 plus Charisma 21 (+5 modifier) is a leadership score of 11, isn't it? You don't get 4th level followers until a leadership score of 18.Rystil Arden said:(OOC: Then they were being silly.
