[QUOTE="Dzyu, post: 4962555, member: 85050"] Hi guys, I recently mentioned for my DM that I'm considering getting the Leadership feat so I can have an apprentice and some followers. I'm playing a human lvl 7 wizard with 25 int, 7 wis and 7 cha. Eccentric, different, not good with people but a genious. A pretty standard wizard really. I've explained this statline with my wizard being a bit differently wired than most, spending most of his life studying instead of socializing. I even got a special feat from the DM called "savant mind"(he likes a bit of house rules) giving me my int bonus to will saves since my wizard is "wired" differently. His instantaneous argument was that this was a stupid idea as there's no way a wizard such as mine would attract followers, and that the Leadership feat should have a cha requirement. We have a paladin in the group who's taken the leadership feat on lvl 7 so he doesn't have any problem with the feat in itself. It's just that he thinks it's stupid with a wizard so unattentive and uncharismatic to be a leader and attract a cohort(read: apprentice) and followers. Any comments on this? IMO what my DM says is ridiculous. A wizard could take the leadership feat and attract followers. Not because he's a good leader(he does get a penalty for low cha to his leadership score so I have no idea what the DM is on about, really!), but because he's powerful, knowledgeable and very intelligent, he would attract followers and a cohort different than a paladin would. Do you guys agree? Oh and what exactly does "special power" mean? Ability to cast spells? [/QUOTE]
