You could say that there are decent benefits a cohort can bestow, however, in LG a table has a maximum size of 6 players. A cohort can't be brought along unless there is an open seat, i.e. 5 players or 4 players total. Quite often there is a full table of 6 players so the Leadership feat us effectively useless. Unless one could expect to regularly play at non-full tables the Leadership feat is a waste.In LG, PCs are built with a 28 point build while cohorts are built with a 25 point build and are limited to having no more treasure than the DMG's NPC treasure chart.In my own experience, I have a character who did take Leadership. The cohort was generally built around maximixing the main character. A wizard whose main trick is to quicken enlarge the PC and then polymorph PC into a troll or an annis hag, followed by moving very far away and working as artillery. Occassionally I would pump in the spells for the spell storing off-hand weapon. Makes my PC very nice all for a single feat. However about 3 out of 5 tables I have played with this PC were filled and I couldn't bring the cohort... effectively making the Leadership feet a wasted feat 60% of the time. *shrug*</blockquote>
