Novice Followers
Followers begin their journey as novices. The following are the base statistics of a novice follower. Followers calculate their modifiers and DCs just as you do with one difference: the only item bonuses they can benefit from are the ones listed in their statistics. You can take feats from the captain archetype to advance your followers, making them stronger.
A follower’s starting statistics are as follows.
Level: Your follower’s level is equal to yours.
Proficiencies: Your follower is trained in their listed attacks, the armor from their kit, Perception, all saving throws, and the skills listed in their stat block.
Attribute Modifiers: A follower begins with base attribute modifiers listed in their stat block.
Hit Points: Your follower has starting Hit Points from their type, plus a number of Hit Points equal to 6 plus their Constitution modifier for each level you have.
