[QUOTE="Rae ArdGaoth, post: 3530396, member: 21064"] Bront's method looks complicated, what with all the equations. I know it's really not, but it looks... daunting. I prefer IcyCool's method, it's pretty simple. #1 and #3 are already in the rules, I believe, and #2 and #4 are very easy ways to calculate cohort XP. There's still no advantage for keeping a cohort rather than replacing him, but it does something for the disadvantages. It would also take away one of the reasons to swap out a cohort. I think that's a good side effect. -------------------- To offer a dissenting opinion... The general consensus seems to be that Leadership is too nerfed. I'm not sure I agree, I think Leadership in it's original form is actually one of the most powerful feats in the game. You'd almost be a fool [i]not[/i] to take it. IMC, I don't allow Leadership as a feat. If I want my PCs to have a cohort, they get one from me the DM, under my terms, if you know what I mean. Another thought: Allowing Leadership also allows players to have more than the allotted 3 character limit (albeit at a level disadvantage, and the extra characters come attached to a PC). I'm not convinced that Leadership should be allowed at all in LEW. [/QUOTE]
