Legendary Commander
( Epic Level Handbook, p. 62)[Epic]
You attract and lead great armies of followers through sheer force of personality.
Prerequisite
Epic Leadership (ELH) , Leadership (PH) , Diplomacy 30 ranks, CHA 25, must rule own kingdom and have a stronghold,Benefit
Multiply the number of followers of each level that you can lead by 10. Thus, a Leadership score of 25 would allow you to lead 1,350 1st-level followers, 130 2nd level followers, and so forth. This has no effect on cohorts. -
Going all in on the paladin of insanity?

@daermadm Hadn’t considered that, but that is a good idea for the Torment Knight, for when he carves out a Kingdom of Torment from the souls of the worthy, all in the name of the God-King Dregnoth.
I had originally thought about doing the Leadership thing with Rorek and the Axe of the Dwarvish Lords maybe starting his own mountain raising it to enclave status and uniting the Dwarves. I guess it depends, if the Great Leo Pard, 10E thief extraordinaire, can pull off the Abyssal Heist of the Century, then I would keep both the Dwarves in play.
Otherwise i will probably pivot to a Torment Knight, and a Doom Weaver (or Lust weaver) hadn’t decided yet. Both will be sent by ‘Mother’ to help Ceasar lift the God-King Dregnoth to his destined glory within the Manaverse.

Force you, don’t think a player can force a DM to do anything. I was just following your idea, with the paladin of insanity, since i needed a new character to play. Seemed kind of a cool concept, a Forsaken Paladin bringing justice to the non-believers of God-King Dregnoth’s. With Ceasar by his side delivering the God-King’s message of Luv to the masses. Optimizing his leadership only seemed natural.

Not.My.Idea.Ever

So this is how I see Bob’s new paladin of insanity…
Sort of Like the Swiss Guard for Caesar the Pope of Dregnoth.Caesar had me draw up a little pic of the two of them as they prepare to spread the word of Love and Lube to the masses

@orc I rely like that, the Campaign of Luv and Lube, These are the Chronicles of Dregnoth The God-King and the Adventures of the Penetrators.
