Follower vanity limits

[Marquis Rogar Volka]

I know the limit for vanity followers is Cha modifier with a minimum of 1 but is that limit the number of followers I can have with me (and gain any benefit from) or is it a hard limit on how many I can have overall?

Charisma modifier (minimum 1).

[The Great Rinaldo!]

It is a total limit for the character. All of your vanity followers are assumed to be with you whenever you need them.

Would there be any issue if my character spent Prestige to have multiple followers, but due to his lack of a Cha modifier (therefore only being able to have the minimum of 1) only have one with me for any given module (not switching mid-module, so if I start with a Squire that's the only follower I have the whole session)

The limit on the number of followers is a Pathfinder game rule (Pathfinder Society Field Guide, page 60), not a PFS ruling, thus PFS sessions or when they start and end aren't relevant.

If you've acquired a Follower, and your Charisma modifier is only +1 or less, how are you obtaining "multiple followers"?

The moment you have 1, you've met your limit.

The character can dismiss his one follower and pay Prestige for a different one.

Pathfinder Society Field Guide wrote:

..you may dismiss a follower from service at any time if you wish to gain different followers, but do not regain spent Prestige Points when you do so.

So he can't choose from a stable of followers or get back a follower that he used in a previous adventure, except by paying for that follower again, but can have different followers over time. It's not a lifetime limit.

[Nefreet]

If you've dismissed your one, then sure, because you are no longer at your limit.

I didn't read that from the OP. It sounded to me like they wanted "multiple". But if they meant "catch and release", then sure.

They could just never have more than one at the same time.

That doesn't sound like a catch and release, and more of a have several followers but only using 1 per scenario, which one can't do.

Well except for the seneschal follower.

Quote:

Seneschal (2 PP)

This dedicated servant keeps your affairs in order when you are away from home, ensuring that your property is maintained, your correspondence is kept up to date, and so on.

While you are present, the seneschal tends to your wounds, assists you in preparing for future adventures, and ensures that you may focus on your duties as a Pathfinder instead of the day-to-day business of keeping your property.

When you rest at your home, you automatically heal as if under long-term care using the Heal skill.

In order to gain the service of such an individual, however, you must own property or a business, either in Absalom or elsewhere.

You may retain the services of one seneschal per property--seneschals do not count against the normal maximum number of followers you can retain at a time.
