My DM has approved the optional rules in the ELH regarding followers taking levels in adept, aristocrat, PC classes and PrC's.
That's the good news. Bad news is I don't quite understand how the levels work out. All the relevant info is on page 37 of the ELH if you want to read the whole section for yourself.
In any case the text says that if a follower is an adept or aristocrat they count as a follower 2 levels higher than their actual character level.
By the way I read that a 1st level adept would count as a 3rd level follower(class level 1+2levels for being an adept =3rd level follower.)
However in the example illustrating how to figure the level adjustment in the last paragraph it gives the example of a 6th level adept counting as a 7th level follower. How can that be?
If you have six levels in adept and you add the +2 level adjustment woud't that equal 8?
If someone could show me where I went wrong I'd greatly appreciate it because right now I'm thinking I need to go back and take basic math over.
