Awww, please don't be that way

I'll give it some thought but I'll probably scrap that part of the concept... Looking at leadership down the road it will never workout like I want it to be... This is as close to be equal as they get and the gap starts to widen in the teens…

Really the concept needs two PCs to work but I’ve learned you never tie your history to another in a PbP game.

Hmmm...I definitely agree that having her fall more behind can just cause problems for everyone, so how about in exchange for not having followers, we make her a DMPC, so she is allowed to level up with the others regardless of Slagg's Leadership score? Sound fair?

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Sound fair?

Not really, cause then my PC becomes inherently more powerful than everyone else's and I know as DM you have to strive for balance.

If the others in the 6th level game don't mind I wouldn't mind but it should be their call not my own.

Well sorta, and I do agree.

Everyone in Viridian Plague, let me know if you think its OK if we let Pleione continue to level to stay two levels behind Slagg, regardless of his Leadership score, assuming she is played by me as a DMPC.

Since your leadership score doesn't matter once you have attracted the cohort, that won't cause a problem. As for her gaining levels, just make her advance a level whenever Slagg does.

That is what I plan on doing if everyone is OK with it, although it actually breaks the rules for Leadership, since technically she shouldn't be levelling until he has enough Leadership to handle her

Not true, the cohort level column is the maximum level cohort you can attract it has nothing to do with control. Once you have them it doesn't matter what happens to your leadership score unless your old cohort dies or leaves and you need to attract a new cohort (which then uses your current leadership score relative to that character to see what their maximum level can be).

Interesting...I've never really played it that way, but I see how you could interpret it like that if you wanted to

Well it is how it works after all, otherwise they would always be a liability to the party.

That's why a cohort receives XP (usually), and isn't just raised when a PCs leadership score goes up (DMG pg. 104-105).

It works the same for followers. If your leadership score goes down after you recruit followers they don't immediately leave, but you can't replace them if they die or whatever if your new leadership score wouldn't allow it.

 

[Bront]

Sure...

Actualy, I wanted a rundown on how to use the power(s), ect.

Me: Make a DC 18 check.
Target: Failed, ok, what happens.
Me: um...

Doesn't work well

What does Symbiosis and Dazzling Beauty do?
