I'm in the process of trying to decide if I should take the Leadership feat or not. I know it depends on my own DM, but I was curious as to what other folks do.I'm playing a LN Knight of St. Cuthbert and was thinking of recruiting a LN Cleric of St. Cuthbert (the player of the party Cleric has moved away). As a Knight with decent Charisma, I might even have access to followers straight away or soon at least.Assuming the DM has direct control of the Cleric, I take it you wouldn't be opposed to talking general battle tactics that the cleric and knight would use together in the early rounds of combat. Things like I'll delay until you can cast Enlarge Person/Bull's Strength or whatever.Followers I was considering getting someone who could Track, another that could Ride well (messenger) and Knowledge (nobility), and Squires to care for my horse and armour.Also how would you feel about the player surrendering a bit of control to the cohort. While mechanically the player would be the one with Leadership, I was thinking it would make more sense in character for the Knight of St. Cuthbert to be a bodyguard of the priest.</blockquote>
