These followers are more tailor made: being made similarly to a player character (which means they actually will have LESS hit points than a standard sidekick), with a few exceptions: I make an effort to lob off niche abilities from these NPCs.
With these rules, I include a 4th category of followers: Unique followers. Only exceptionally gifted people can go beyond 6th level. practically nameless, I use these rules as written-with a cap of 6th level being explained that an average person can only get so powerful and have a limit. In Dragon of Icespire Peak, you are told of 3 different types of Sidekicks/Followers that you can acquire: Expert, Spellcaster and Warrior. I took heavy inspiration from the Sidekick rules found in the Essentials Kit for Dragon of Icespire Peak. But I have had an opportunity to use those concepts in what feels to be a balanced manner. I'm unfortunately, a ForeverDM and I have lots of character concepts that I have never had the chance to try out. I think it worked out fairly well, story-wise. And the story centered around him as much as it did around them. Because the player liked them - he thought they were cool, and when they had emotional problems in their stories, he would go and help them. They never killed the dragon or flew the spaceship (long story) _unless the player wanted them to._ I think that was the key thing: the player made the decisions. It was like one of those video games where you build a party and bring it with you, and your story and those of your party members tie into one another. The player still made all the decisions, was the star in combat, etc. From a story perspective, I personally think they added - and not because I was running them. What it also did was mean that I had to spend hours out of game just building these character sheets and leveling them up, a mistake I won't be repeating. I thought it would be interesting and add depth to their characters to force them to pick classes as well as races - which it did. I ran a one-on-one campaign once, where the player picked up various allies along the way. Portions of the materials used are property of Wizards of the Coast.
