So... Has anyone ever tried to have fun with this?

[Major_Blackhart]

I was wondering on some feedback from guys if anyone has ever gotten a game together and (hopefully with GM approval) several characters become cavaliers that take the Leadership feat?

I would think it would become a rather interesting game, increasing party size, etc. It was one of those things that I was just talking about with some other people as a fun idea for higher level adventures where you start at like level 12 or so (something similar to that). Several rather charismatic knights that come from all over, with varying orders and varying cohorts. It might make for some rather interesting synchronization with the rest of the group.

It would definitely force the GM to really make some changes difficulty wise, but overall could be very, very interesting.

What does everyone else think on this?

You may as well have a full party of Master Summoners if you just want a small army to storm the landscape and everyone's turns to take forever.

I never liked having more then 2 players at a table having cohorts. As it means more paperwork and more time involved. The GM has to increase his own numbers of enemies to make it worthwhile, and the players have to track not only their own stats/loot/powers/etc. But their cohorts as well.

If you can make it, go ahead and do it. But for a GM I don't think it's that fun, and the players, unless all they want to do is battle, it will take forever to get back to their turn.

This would require some sort of mash-up of Pathfinder and a tabletop miniatures wargame. It would be interesting, but it would be a lot of work.
