I was thinking out the Leutenants and Leadership feat. Particullay the level requirement for the ledership feat (6th) and the fact that there are several regents below that level in the BCRS.

I was thinking about letting the Blooded Scion feat equal the Leadership feat within my campaigns. I would still keep the no cohort greater than PC ECL-2 and would add that no followers could be greater than that level well. This would allow a 3rd cleric with a high charisma to have several 1st level followers and no cohort, however the followers cannot gain XP or levels so they would only be really helpful on a single adventure or at most two.

My reasoning is that blooded individuals are rare and when encountered are usually given leadership positions, whether willingly or unlnowingly.

What do you think?
