I know that, for the most part, followers are used for crafting or operations of some sort, like being the crew on a ship. What are some of the more interesting uses for followers that you've found in your campaigns?

I have them start a mining town for the Black Onyx to fuel my undead army.

My cleric's followers are theologians tasked with "field research".

I usually use Tiger Warrior Training Technique to turn them into a veritable army of mortals.

In which case they can stand against a Terrestrial for more than, say, fifty ticks.

I use Thralls instead, and bring them along as mobile trap-springers.

I think we are talking about DnD, not Exalted. Still a good call. Nothing like an army of heroic mortals in flying powered armor assaulting the fortess of some dark god or infernals or something. Go take over Thorns already!

Step one - Gain thralls.
Step two - kill something useing negative energy
Step three - Wait 24 hours
Step four - the killed ting raises as a whight.
Step five - control undead the whight.
step six - as a natural whight is has the create spawn ability, and all spawn are loyal to the first whight, the first whight is magicaly loyal to you. Feed it all of your level one thralls each day (they come back tommorow anyway) to create an endless army of soul stealing undead.

Best use of minions - fule for your undead army!

Control 1000's of HD of whights at level 10 or so!

Well, the first post was incredibly unclear on the matter.

Exalted is awsome anyway.

Field rations.

On a more serious note, I made my followers 1/2 hit die animated objects (puppets) and used them to spy on people, and to creep people out.
