You have to get down to your hand size. Do your best to get 1 card out of your hand for each cohort you have.
You are welcome.
This is a good question.
I'm also not sure I like the rule about how you lose cohorts forever. There's no way in any home game that you wouldn't allow your friend to have his cohort back. Wonder if OP will handle it the same official way when the class decks come out?
I have a feeling OP will handle cohorts differently, except for owner cohorts (since those can be indicated on the chronicle sheet.)

Well, it depends. I think the rule is there so that when you are required to banish something (like perhaps to close a location) you don't say "Well, I'll just banish this cohort since I'll get it back again next scenario or whenever it comes up on the scenario card again."
There aren't many (but there are a few) things that can banish stuff without you having any choice over the matter (at least in S&S and RotR). Often you are the one initiating the banishing and also choosing which card to banish. Granted, there are some things that can banish stuff from the top of your deck.
So, if you are going to make a house rule with this, I'd encourage you to also stipulate that you will only get back cohorts associated with a character and also only if you had no way to avoid and no control over them getting banished (i.e. Donahan was the top card of your deck and something banished the top card of your deck).
If you play with a cohort that you want to keep, you've got to take steps to protect them.

The scenarios tell you what additional cohorts go with the scenario. Also note, that the cohort that is available for the scenario might be a special one that was created just for the scenario and not available in the regular AP. So when it goes away at the end of the scenario, it may never appear again during the OP.

Well, Killing\Recreating the character is an option. We've also only seen deck 1 of WotR. Maybe in decks 2+ there will be a "True Resurrection Cohort" loot or spell that returns a Cohort to the box! Yay Mythic power!
Wow. Answered in under 15 minutes!
That's Hawkmoon for you :P

That makes sense, I was thinking more along the lines of an undefeated monster banishing a card out of your discard pile. If that even exists in Wrath.

I agree, you should totally fill a complain.
15 minutes is way above the average time it takes Hawk to usually answer :-)This robot never sleeps...
One of the villains in AD1 does something like that - but only to scenario cohorts. On the other hand, that villain also doesn't care about silly limitations such as the discard pile, and will just as happily murder the targeted cohort in your hand, deck, or burial pile, or even displayed if you somehow cause that to happen.
I think the rule about banishing is interesting - certainly affects how you play.
The guy who adds d8 to checks against Outsiders - in the first scenario, you lose him if the next card in the blessings deck is corrupted. If we could have just had him back in the later scenarios, we'd have risked it and used him anyway. As it was, we didn't risk it.
