Re: New Followers / Monster Followers
Added a couple of sentences under Reaction Rolls to account for this.
If the characters hire a non-player character as a specialist, lackey, or extra sword arm, the GM may make a secret reaction roll to find out how his NPC really feels about his bosses. This will help him decide how the NPC feels if he’s placed in great danger or given a profitable opportunity to defect. |

Re: New Followers / Monster Followers
Pages 9 - 11 in Guy's GrailQuest (and the included table) was the base-mechanical system we used for handling the hiring of underlings; which we modified to further reflect a hireling's loyalty, morale, and their attitude toward their employer - via reaction rolls - by the rules-as-written on pages 33-34 in TFT:ITL under the topic of: Hired Help.

Handling it organically through roleplaying was very fun and one of the major elements of play. So reducing it to "roll 4/IQ to make any NPC your own" didn't fit in. |

Re: New Followers / Monster Followers
I think THAT'S finally articulated what my problem with the talent was. It seemed like it should be something the players' role-played, not something they rolled dice for. I don't mind some guidance on the general concept, but making it a talent seemed to remove agency from the players, somehow...

Re: New Followers / Monster Followers
You need some leadership and recruiting talents, and they should apply to both people who want henchmen and tarzans who want a troop of loyal slimes. So, if you get rid of these particular ones, please make sure you replace them with something better!

Re: New Followers / Monster Followers
I would like to see New Followers and Monster Followers kept in some form. That could be rules as newly written or in a future product that would allow additional explanation on how GMs and players should use them. I would also like to see some guidance on loyalty modifiers. I feel these talents can add to role play and story development if well managed.
