Yes... I'm looking for the formula for the numbers of followers given in DMG and ELH.

I'm trying to set up an excel file, where I can just change the leadership score and the rest re-calculates to the new umber, but I cant deduct the formula. Math is not my strongest suit, so if anyone could help it would be great! :smallredface:

Thanks everybody

theres no real formula there at all, the only things that coincide with each other is for every 10 level 1 followers you get 1 level 2 follower. Honestly I think they just threw numbers at a table and didn't check if it made sense ever again.

The following is not in the Excel syntax

Step 1: Look up or calculate the number of 1st level followers
If: leadership score < 41
Then: look it up
Else: 1st level followers = 1000 + (score - 40) * 100

Step 2: 2nd level followers
2nd level followers = Round Down(1st level followers / 10)

Step 3: 3rd-20th level followers
If: N < 20
{
If: followers of level N > 1
{
Then: followers of level N+1 = Round Up (0.5 * followers of level N)
}
Else: followers of level N+1 = 0 (fractions below 1 get rounded down see ELH)
}
Else: followers of level N+1 = 0 (you can't have 21st level followers)
