Getting Followers

After you get the feat leadership, either through a class feat or buying it the number of followers you get is based on your influence score. Adding more points into influence will add to your pool.

Initial set up

The first thing that I do when I want to play with my followers is to pick a role for them, I then make the aliases and such around that role. This way I dont have to care about what silly names the game has given them.

In this case I have a follower named bust and I want to use them as a thief of my character's faith..

I use the following aliases..

thief follower bust $*

thiefsay follower bust say “%^MAGENTA%^$*%^RESET%^”

thiefpose follower bust pose %^CYAN%^$*%^RESET%^

thiefposeclear follower bust pose clear

thiefemote follower bust emoteat bust %^RED%^$M $*%^RESET%^

thiefemoteme follower bust emoteat loki %^GREEN%^$M $*%^RESET%^

And one nickname..

nickname mythief bust

I find the bonus for how I play is that I no longer have to care about their name, just the role I need them to play. When I have multiple followers in a room I can better manage conversations.

Controlling

Now that I have the aliases setup I can:

thief summon

thief wearall

Now when they come into the room they are already wearing their equipment (there is a three or so second delay when you call them before they enter). At this point I set up the follower's title (its adjectives) and its gear. I also command the follower to recognize me with my name.
