Leadership Questions

[Lord Torin]

Leadership has become a large part of our campaigns recently and thus many characters are trying to Maximize their Leadership Score. Here are some of our house rules currently.

Special Power:
+40 on any skill check

Using Reputation rules from Unearthed Arcana. 3 Reputation points gives you +1 Leadership. Thus taking the Renown Feat will give you +1 Leadership.

What are some of your house rules?

With my rules I can get a 6th level character to 21 Leadership Score. How high can you go?

I'm debating on not requiring the Leadership feat or mechanics for it. I prefer a more organic approach that stems from characters actions and desires. What following they get all depends on their ability to influence especially with fixed assets rather than with what level they are or skill checks they have. If they invest all their money on land and able to protect that land, it's more likely to get them real followers/disciples. If they keep moving around, then they'll have to just contend with ad hoc followers that they probably don't want in the first place.
