[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 3631613, member: 8439"] I've been thinking about a possible new character in my STAP game (my character's recklessness is gonna catch up with her eventually) and due to the small size of the group, leadership is looking like a good choice, esp since my current character idea would leave the group without some important functionalities my current character provides... like healing and buffing. :uhoh: Thinking about it though, I find it hard to think of the character I have in mind as having a faithful companion that follows her into the unknown - on the other hand I find it quite easy to think of her as being a faithful companion that follows someone else into the unknown. Which got me thinking about how much folks feel the PC - cohort relationship in RP terms needs to follow the mechanical description in the feat. If the PC and cohort would be entering the game as a matched set (thus no need to explain who attracted who as a follower) could you have a cohort who really was the driving force behind the duo? A PC who was the loyal bodyguard of his royal cohort? Some DMs may handle leadership and cohorts in a way that makes the issue moot.
