Followers

Jason also suggested that the clerics should gain some leader-types with their upper level followers.  Here's what I've worked up:

CLERICAL FOLLOWERS:  In addition to the level-0 followers that a cleric gains at high level, add a 3rd level fighter (lieutenant) for each 30 men attracted.  These men do not advance in level but act as officers for the men.   Additionally, add 1d6 level 1 clerics when first gaining followers, and 1 additional level 1 cleric each time the cleric gains a level.

CANON FOLLOWERS:  in addition to the normal cleric troop followers gained by the same rules as clerics, a canon may establish a monastery, consisting of at least a Cloister on an Estate’s worth of land.   If he does so, and takes up a monastic residence therein, he will attract 48 level 1 canons to join his monastery.

GOTHI FOLLOWERS:  a gothi will attract 100 plus 1d100 level 0 warrior followers at the same level the clerics do.  These warriors will all be heavy infantry in chainmail, shield (50% spear and battleaxe, 50% broad sword and hand axe).  Gothar of Woden may substitute Berserkers for the warriors.   Add a 3rd level lieutenant for each 30 men as for clerics above, and add 1d4 level 1 gothar, plus 1 per level gained above 9.

WARLOCK FOLLOWERS:  a warlock will gain 100 plus 1d100 level 9 warrior followers at the same level the clerics do.  These warriors will either be Brigands or Hobgoblins or Orcs  (using the equipment percentages given in the Monster Manual) as the DM deems most appropriate.  If the followers are brigands, add 1 3rd level lieutenant for each 30 troops.  If the followers are Hobgoblins, then there will be 1 subchief,(total) plus 1 sergeant for each 20 hobgoblins.  If the followers are orcs, then there will be a leader and 3 assistants for each 30 orcs.  The warlock will also gain a coven of 12 level 1 warlocks (with himself as the 13th), if one is killed, he will be replaced in 1d4 months, but all the warlock’s followers suffer -1 morale until the replacement arrives.
