How do you guys deal with the Leadership feat and the Thrallherder class?
A player of mine recently jumped into Thrallherder after discussing it with me, and he seems to think that his Cohorts/Thralls could be considered Fanatics, and his Followers/Believers are also Fanatics.
How I read the class doesn't suggest they're that loyal or willing to sacrifice themselves (although the case could be made for the Thralls, but not for the Believers), or even particularly willing to give their craft or trade for free, just that they're willing to give quite a discount or otherwise use their trade to help you.
I'm perfectly fine with the Thrall being of maximum attitude toward you, the nature of the class suggests that it's probably so psionically dominated it doesn't remember it's name anymore.
However, the mass number of believers (and the nature of the class) suggest that they're little more than a cult of religious nuts lead by you, which, at it's very best are fanatics (depending on your diplomacy checks), but are more likely going to be Friendly or Helpful toward you.
As a real world example might go, there are certainly people who donate all of their spare money to the Church, but the majority tend to be "every other Sunday" or "maybe we'll go at Easter."
What are your opinions?
