Otherwise they stay behind and guard/manage your holdings.For example, my current group has a 9th level paladin and a 9th level cleric who both took leadership, one at 6th level (the Paladin) and the other at 9th.The Paladin took the feat to have what is now a 7th level cohort and his followers guard/maintain/work a vineyard and Mansion (from a excellent module called Morricks Mansion). The cleric took it at ninth level to "man" a temple which she now has to build because Tyr manifested there in response to saving the condemned soul of a paladin (from another excellent module called Grey Citadel).As for what classes the followers are supposed to be, it is the NPC classes such as warrior. I house ruled that if they cut the numbers in half their followers could be PC classes. I also allow multiple selections of the Leadership feat to add the same amount of additional followers and cohorts. As far as a I know that is a house rule too.Edit: for more definitive information read all the info about followers and cohorts in the DMG.</blockquote>
