Message: <blockquote data-quote="smootrk" data-source="post: 2546963" data-attributes="member: 28583">An NPC can be any particular class.  Sometimes it makes sense to have some of the officially NPC classes, and other times NPC's of standard classes (pc allowable classes).For example, for a Paladin with the Leadership feat, one follower is a Paladin squire, several others are Fighter classed (seargents), one is a cleric (of the same deity as our paladin), a couple of experts, and the bulk are warriors & commoners.This only works in situations without players who choose to munchkin out the situation with only 'the best' followers for his/her situation.  If this is the case, I would suggest that the DM have the control over exactly what classes show up as followers for the character.  If the player wants to form a military unit or otherwise totally coordinated group, I would suggest that he has to pay them as hirelings and not as followers.  Followers would not necessarily show up meeting proper criteria to match the desired positions.</blockquote>
