When LEW allowed Leadership as a feat, the judges passed it in a slightly less powerful form. I propose to restore Leadership's original power to some extent, according to these new rules...
*Cohorts will be created with a 30 point buy, as normal for a PC.
*A cohort receives XP like a normal character for their level. This XP is in addition to the XP awarded to the party; it is not subtracted from the party total. This method, created by Rystil Arden, will be instated to discourage the "cycling" of cohorts.
And this important guideline...
*A cohort in an adventure is ultimately and absolutely controlled by the DM. If a cohort seems to be taking up too much stage time, it is the DM's right and duty to request the player to tone the cohort's actions down and/or take DM control of the cohort. Other Players should also feel comfortable in requesting such action of the DM or the player who is controlling the cohort.
I propose that we give these new rules a one year time limit and reassess the situation then. The point buy change is retroactive, so any active cohorts will have a stat increase.
Much discussion on this issue has already taken place in this thread.
[sblock=Removed Text: ]At the start of this trial, any PCs who were eligible to take Leadership but chose not to may immediately exchange a feat for Leadership. At the end of the trial, PCs will again have the chance to exchange Leadership for another feat if they so desire. [/sblock]
