I just wanted to see how it tends to work out in-game. I've never actually been in any RL games where anyone has taken it, so I really have no experience at all with that feat. What usually happens? Does the GM design the cohort and followers or does the player? Are they usually made to order for the player or does the player tend to get whatever the GM sees fit? Or does it vary too much between games for anything to be considered "usual"? And is it even workable in the PbP format?
To any GMs running games I'm in, please don't panic. None of my current characters will be taking it. ;)
Well, Kaliciel in Wellard's RotRL game might. But that would probably be much, much later in the game. Like after the campaign when everyone retires.

I don't think any of us actually have the leadership feat, but our Eberron pbp group has 4 hirelings (3 Tharashk mercenaries and a Dwarven tracker / ranger) rounding out our group to a huge 10 person traveling band. (At the 4th one he drew the line and any new hirelings etc will have to replace a current one.)
Aubrey (the GM) statted them all up and listed the stat blocks in his profile to make them accessible to the players. So typically we post and roll for them during combat, but he handles them as characters with personalities outside of combat.
Thanks!
