They are simple guards and such. Not adventurers." It does say that they can be involved in specific interactives and special events. Main use I saw them ever used for was when a PC wanted their followers to gather the supplies needed so they could get other things done during an interactive. I know that I'll be using some of my followers for babysitting with one of my PC's.

Japangirl 01-12-07, 12:50 AM	The funniest use for followers (and if I ever DM someone trying this I will slap it down) is to rile them up into a very mad group of followers. I figure at about 10th level, it's easy to have 20-25 followers as a high-charisma character. If you make them mad enough, they turn into a mob. Unleash the commoner mob! It's only a -1 on attracting new followers if you managed to get your old ones killed.
katrick 01-12-07, 04:52 AM	there is a cert from a Core mod which gives a title and a follower that goes around paying your bills and cleaning up your mess, but they have no game mechanics marty
