[QUOTE="renau1g, post: 5145339, member: 54810"] I don't believe there's any mechanics for what you're looking for as defined in the rules. Why do the PC's want followers? In 3e leadership was the most broken feat in the game as it is far superior to any other option for any PC, especially as you got to mid-levels. The game is more focused on the adventuring party as the heroes and not as concerned with the periphery figures (say henchmen). You could likely houserule using some of the older rulesets info to achieve the reputation/stronghold/attracting followers, etc. The rules don't go into the non-combat goals as I think they're too varied to attempt to cover well, which is why the focus is on the main aspect of the game that the DM needs the rules for, namely combat. Adjudication of the other areas (non-combat) is pretty simple for me to wing, but if I didn't have combat resolution mechanics I'd be SOL.
