Okay, so in my group we allow the the Squire feat under the houserule that you do not get upgraded to Leadership at 7th level (still banned except under unique circumstances). My group's wizard however, wants to take on an apprentice, using this feat as the an example but with prepared arcane casters instead of martial weapon users. However it is my belief that we should tone down the level of the apprentice to -3 or -4 the level of the PC wizard's to help prevent too much casting power arising in the group.
Do you guys think this is appropriate? Do you think we need to increase the level restriction at all? Also paizo, please make an actual apprentice feat parallel to the Squire feat.
