Okay, I am about to start DMing a campaign. Unfortunately, I foresee some problems with my PCs.
First off, there is no healer. THe party breaks down like this.

Rogue/SHadowdancer
Fighter/Dwarven Defender
Ranger
Sorcerer/Dragon Disciple(Took LEadership, is gonna have a Paladin/Vassal of Bahamut)
Sorcerer/Arcane Archer(Took Leadership, is gonna have a Fighter cohort)

It's a 13th level party. So...I'm also gopnna have somewhere around 60+ 1st level guys, and some minor-level others...

Also, the Vassal of Bahamut...He gets a LOT of money for nothing. ...Is that PrC balanced? *Sigh* I may have to ask the party to un-mess with their characters. Then again, I have a perfect opportunity to exterminate most of the followers...

Getting a healer shouldn't be difficult. Ask if you can change one of the cohorts out for a cleric of appropriate level. Specifically, the Vasal. Tell the player you'll give the cohort one or two bonus levels, if they'll do this to supply the party healer.

I'm glad I don't use leadership in my games. blech... Too much record-keeping, and opportunities for abuse.

Bah, that I don't really care about. THey can suffer for all I care. It's just gonna make things a little more difficult. SHould I disallow one of the LEadership people? Is Vassal of Bahamut too overpowered, especially with the huge amount of money he gets?

If the Vassal is a cohort why would he give any of his money to his PC leader? If you came into a bunch of money would you give it to your boss?
I'm not sure why a worshiper of a dragon god would follow a wannabe half dragon anyway, but that's your call.

ALright, the VoB gave half of his money to an orphanage(Yay i do teh good thnigsd for sokietee!), and used the other half to buy a magical warhammer. So, it won't be so bad. Also, the two guys with Leadership are leaving most of their followers behind (Everybody below level 3) on a boat that they have. I do hope they understand that there is a huge freakin' war going on between everybody and eveybody else...
