[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 5829469, member: 58197"] HELL. YES. Bring back Name level, followers, and strongholds! I think the default should be, "If you build it, they will come." The idea is that to get followers, you have to establish a stronghold. Probably the most common method will be to choose some likely dungeon that you've already cleared, renovate it, and set up shop. However, you can also hire laborers to build one, or you can buy a castle or accept it in payment for services rendered. Once you've established a stronghold, if you've reached Name level, your reputation starts to attract followers with no further effort on your part. If you don't want to get into all this, you can just not establish a stronghold, or turn away the would-be followers as they arrive. (Also, is anyone else having trouble leaving a comment? I click on "Leave A Comment" and it tells me to log in. Then when I log in, the "Leave A Comment" link disappears. I log out, copy the URL of the link, log in, paste the URL, and end up on the community main page. The dead hand of Gleemax reaches out once more to afflict the living...) (Further note: Figured it out. You have to click on the little "Join Group" link underneath the D&D Next logo in the upper left. Then you can comment. Of course, there's no feedback that would tell you you need to do this. Web design FAIL.) [/QUOTE]
