And I don't like much Someone idea... the best thing I think would be to calculate the XP of teh cohort just as if he was a PC of the group, which could mean less XP to the other PC, but after all, the challenges will be less danegrous because of his presence.
Just a quick example: The dodge feat lessens some of the danger of the party when a melee character takes it because if the melee characters drop, the casters are attacked next. No one argues that if dodge is taken, and the danger of the party is lessened because of that, there should be less xp for the person with dodge or in the party with a person with the feat. What I'm getting at: why should XP come into play at all other than to balance the follower against the person with leadership?
I agree with RA- there should be benefits for sticking with your follower that just bit it. Otherwise there's no OOC reason to stick with them.
Someone's idea of being able to push more xp into the follower is intriguing. Perhaps to further create an ooc reason for doing this, and a greater "bond" between this follower and the feat-taker, you could give a +1 bonus to leadership score (nonstackable, for that one follower) in this instance?
The points the follower should be, I have no comment on - I have little experience in the point buy system. I feel somewhat restricted in this system but I'm used to heavy action and roll-play instead of role-play in meatspace so...*shrug*
