Leadership

As a general rule, this feat is not meant to be used to have extra people in combat.

Leadership score is calculated as: CHA modifier + "effective" character level (meaning the number of levels of class abilities one has). Other modifiers, as detailed at https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/leadership/, also apply. For example, a Sorcerer with 17 CHA and 4 HD would have a Leadership score of 3+8=11. Use the standard Leadership rules to calculate the number and level of followers and cohort you gain. Neither followers nor cohorts are mythic.

• Followers:

  • All new followers gained begin in Golden. Over time, as your character travels, your followers can be redistributed to new areas, but they are unwilling to relocate multiple times: once a follower has been moved, they remain in its new location.

  • When you relocate followers to a new location, you get a one-time bonus to your first Diplomacy: Gather Info or a Knowledge check about the area, which must be conducted during the same visit. The bonus is equal to the total HD of all followers relocated during this visit. This represents your newly relocated followers aiding you in your check.

  • On future visits to the same location, you no longer get the one-time bonus (unless relocating additional new followers, of course). Instead, you may "take X" as your roll on Diplomacy: Gather Info or a Knowledge check about the area, where X = the total HD of all your followers in the area. X caps out at 20 in this situation. This represents your existing followers providing you with their own knowledge and information.

  • Note that the "Take X" bonus also applies to Golden, counting any unrelocated followers you might have there.
    

• Cohort:

  • Your cohort should be created using the following array for stats: 15/13/11/10/9/8.

  • Cohorts level up according to the same progression as your character.

  • As a swift action, you can open a wormhole using one activation of your Constant signal to place your cohort anywhere within 100', so long as you have line of sight to their destination and they are on the plane at the time. Your cohort will perform a full round worth of actions (swift, standard, and move action) before they return to their previous location. They can take damage as normal while present, but always appear at full HP.

  • Your cohort can be assigned to a task or project to work on while you are in the field.

  • Your cohort gains limited, shared access to your storage space on the Constant (the same space your PHV is stored). During a mission, this shared access can be utilized to gain access to a small amount of supplies or equipment that your cohort provides to you. At the beginning of each mission, you have a supplies value pool equal to 100gp x your cohort's HD. As a full round action, you can withdraw any item from the Constant that can reasonably be stored there with a value less than or equal to your remaining value pool total. The item does not need to be prepared prior to the mission, and can be decided on at the moment of retrieval - your cohort has already "done the work" of anticipating your needs. Retrieving an item deducts its value from the value pool total, which only replenishes between missions. For example, a character with a level 4 cohort has access to 400gp worth of supplies through the Constant over the course of a mission. If they spend a full round action to withdraw a lesser EMP grenade (250gp), they have 150gp remaining in their supply pool. Later in the mission, they could spend a full round action to withdraw a flashbang grenade (150gp), and be out of supplies they can withdraw for the remainder of the mission.

  • The PRISM Leadership Council wants to emphasize that bringing cohorts into active missions is a high risk to their physical safety. The Council has not explicitly approved cohorts for field work, and Roscoe in particular frowns upon having them in hot zones.

New Feats

Graceful Maneuvers: When you get this feat you gain the Improved Trip, Disarm, Dirty Trick, Feint, Reposition and Steal Feats. If a Class Feature would give you access to the Improved version of any of those maneuvers, you instead gain Graceful Maneuvers.

Powerful Maneuvers: When you get this feat you gain the Improved Bull Rush, Drag, Grapple, Overrun, and Sunder combat Feats. If a Class Feature would give you access to the Improved version of any of those maneuvers, you instead gain Powerful Maneuvers.

Weapon Finesse: You may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you are using a weapon that you can finesse with you can add your Dexterity modifier to damage rolls in place of your Strength modifier - this counts as precision damage. If you add your Dex to damage from any other source (such as Unchained Rogue) you deal normal damage instead.

Mercadisk Expert - Exotic Armor or Weapon proficiency Mercadisk - You gain the following tricks.

Disk Rider (Fly 3 ranks): You can ride atop any Mercadisk you create, so long as it has the capacity to support your weight. This grants you a fly speed of 30 feet (average), but the disk cannot move itself or you more than 5 feet above the ground at any time. If you are on a location within the Astral Plane—the disk can instead fly to any height, and your fly speed while standing on it increases to 40 feet (good). When you summon your mercadisk you can step onto the disk in your space as part of the action required to cast the spell.

Spurn Gravity (Fly 6 ranks): While astride your mercadisk, you can fly higher than 5 feet above the ground. However, you must return to a location 5 feet above a stable surface before the end of your turn or fall. If you take damage from this fall, you fall prone atop your mercadisk. As a swift action, you can also reduce the remaining duration of your mercadisk to 1 round per level before it dissipates and needs to be resummoned. For the remaining duration of the spell, your fly speed increases to 50 feet and your disk ignores all altitude limitations.
