Sorry if this topic has alread been discussed before. I have a PC in my game who wants to take Leadership and use his followers to create a thieves guild in the city. I think the initial idea is interesting but then he went on to say 'I can leave the city, go adventuring, get loot and come back and have bags of gold waiting for me from the guild'.
I know Leadership is a controversial feat anyway, the problem is I've already allowed another PC to take it. His followers are the crew to a ship that he bought, he pays them standard wages, supplies them, etc. I'd feel sort of lousy saying no since I allowed another character the same feat.
I like the idea of the thieves guild but not as an endless supply of gold that isn't earned during play.
Has anyone else used Leadership for a guild in this way and if so how did you handle it?
