The 1e books are pretty vague on this point.  It wasn't until 2e that the Fighter's tables of potential followers were even in the PHB (previously they were in the DMG).In fact, the 1e PHB has this to say:[ATTACH=full]382064[/ATTACH]Nothing in there really says "hey, these NPC's are exclusively under your control".  Even in 2e, all it says is that these people are loyal as long as they are paid and well-treated.If there is some carved-out exception that says followers are under player control, I can't seem to find it.</blockquote>
