I totally agree. I have not use my house rule in a campaign but I give every PC the ability of minor leadership for free. This works exactly like the feat leadership except the numbers of followers is halved. The leadership feat is a bonus of IIRC +2 or +4 on the leadership score and a person with the leadership feat gets the normal number of followers.MoonZar said:Another comment about the feat leadership.
Personnaly i don't use this feat, every hero (PC) in my campaign could attract follower without the feat if they do heroic deeds and have a reputation.
