Followers Charts are for parties that have started to gain higher levels lvl 10 , preferably have a group stronghold or base of operations and are growing in fame as their adventures continue . While I agree completely with the metric you ' ve provided for when these arrive , I think it would be great if you provided some extra structure e . g . level 12 minus Charisma bonus , and again upon building a stronghold , and again at level 18 minus Charisma bonus for those DMs who might be a bit less secure on when to introduce these fellas . If there is enough demand then will also finish out with Barbarians , Clerics , Rangers , Wizards and Paladins . This is me politely demanding . <| sep |> I think it was ' Over Top Clear Mind '
