Leadership/Hireling

[chaossdragon]

Leadership Feat : Gained through a rather lengthy quest chain. Allows a Single Personal Henchman.
Basic Hireling, Gold Hireling, Think of this as a Platinum Hireling...

This Henchman is Customizable. IE... Race, Gender, Looks, Class(s), Feats, Skills are all up to our choice. You can decide what equipment that you find out of chests or as rewards to equip your henchman. The restriction to this is this personal henchman will level with our character, but only up to Level 18 With level cap 20.

When calling upon this henchman it will cost us a set amount in gold based on its level. much like the feat exchange with Fred...

The Henchman's inventory is extremely limited. Standard Equipment slots and a 5 slot inventory for potions, kits, and such. It should not have the same inventory as the player without some exception quest to unlock it like our own... However It should be able to carry some quest items, example Gwylan's stand, Stormcleave...

Feedback is desired. As support grows this post will be updated to reflect the new changes and updates to flesh our the concept in hopes that the Devs like it.

Thanks

where is the differance between just buying a hireling and saving a feat that way?

So your hireling is kinda like your own personal, walking bankslot?

[Linta]

The Hireling unfortunatly would not so much be a walking bankslot, as a customizable and semi-controllable NPC slaved to your character.
Think of it in fact just like the Diablo 2 hirelings.. Only better... As with these not only do you control their equipment but their skills, stats and feats. In fact it would be like your dual-boxing only without having to go through the associated hassels involved. So you would always have a questing partner that is intimately suited to your character.
