    no

    i think that there is a background called "a netrual teacher", u can train some one to be an expert if u are a master, but u can have 1 npc less than any one!
    (i have the beta!, i dont know if it is in the final!)

    Yes, its called Educator.

    You can teach your party members any skill you have at one less skill level than you have.. so a master can train a follower to expert. The followers also need the right ammount of skill first. i.e. you can't train someone to apprentice if they have no points in the area yet.

    And yes, you do get a -1 follower penalty.

    I don't like the educator background. Tried it once and I end up having only a max of 14 followers.

    Hmmm...is it just Beauty and Charisma that needs to be high for allowing more followers?

    I guess you need to have a lot of followers, since there is a HUGE difference between 2 and 3 in the beginning.

    Actually Charisma is the only one affecting number of followers. Theres a +1 too from persuasion expertise, and some equipment may add too (not sure)...

    So far as I know: CHA/4 = number of followers allowed

    hmmm

    Why is everyone having so many followers? I have only Virgil and the worthless mutt and i'm happy. I'm not going to increase my charisma either, I think 3 characters is easier to the eyes than 16.

    Uhh... How did you get 15 followers? 20/4=5 max followers. You could add 2 more for persuation. And since worthless mutt doesn't count thats 8. But how did you get 15???

    Expert Persuasion adds only one follower, not two. So it would be even only 7. Beats me how one can get 15. Are there just so many others that, like Worthless Mutt, don't count as followers?

    Hpmph:

    5 for Cha
    6 with Persuasion
    7 with Bug Exploitation
    8 Dog
    9 Dante
    10 Thorvald (Get him after the Wheel Clan and you can keep him if you never go back, I think.)
    11 Kraka-Tur
    12 Arronax
    13 The Bane of Kree
    14 Gorgoth
    15 Doc Roberts? That Chick on the Isle of Despair?

    Granted, you'd have to really exploit the games quirks to get 10 and 15. And number 7 really shouldn't be, but there you have it.

    I had the main character with charisma 20 and mastery in persuasion. Before entering Void I had 8 followers (as I remember, Sogg, Raven, Waromon, Virgil, Dante, Magnus, Jormund, Gar) and I couldn't take anybody more. Then in the Void Arronax joined the party increasing the number of followers to 9(I think that he is not counts as follower conserning max number of followers because in order to join other void's npcs I had to leave there my party members: one for one or two for one). And, of course, nobody needs to have such (as in my case) number of followers - I only wanted to give them opportunity to travel with such a charismatic person as my main char.
