[QUOTE="UltimaGabe, post: 2431546, member: 16019"] That's the thing I don't get, though. If one 9th-level Paladin takes Great Cleave, and another 9th-level Paladin with the exact same stats, feats, and equipment takes Leadership, the one with Leadership is going to be better off in almost every single situation, in my opinion. I'd gladly spend a feat for the ability of being able to take twice as many actions (most of which I may not be able to do myself) with the downside of having to buy equipment for two people. I've never seen Leadership as being balanced at a "No XP penalty" feat. In our campaigns, we factor in a cohort for purposes of dividing XP (though not for determining party level), and despite the decreased amount of experience, the cohort still ends up adding far more to the group (and the the player it's bound to) than any other feat ever could (except, maybe, Innate Spell [Miracle] ;) ) [/QUOTE]
