[QUOTE="Bront, post: 3530517, member: 19696"] Icycool's method is simple, but suddently your follower has no penalties to dying, and it allows for crafting to be abused, both of which are things that shouldn't be allowed. While mine may look complicated, it's not that much of a departure from the standard SRD rule. Unfairly keeping a cohort down is one thing, but I think his susgestion does the exact oposite. -------- As to your other comments, one of the things my character has been pondering is starting his own Freefolk caravan. Mostly for flavor, but it sounds like fun and something to add to LEW. He'd take the leadership feat. On top of that, he's met 2-3 people who would be willing to follow him as cohorts, though only one who's had the opertunity and willingness to do so. Back when this was agreed to, I wasn't a judge, but I would have voted No to the 25 point rule. I like the ability to decline the cohort by a GM, but I think that 25 points is too limiting when the PCs are 30 points. I can understand not wanting to let the leadership feat into the game, but there are some characters it makes sense for, and so far, Rinaldo has been the only one to take it (and he has his reasons). Vanitri might be the second, depending on how it changes, but he can't do justice to his cohort with a 25 point build, and bringing along someone who's likely to die quickly just doesn't seem like fun to me.
