Amulet of Leadership (Magic Amulet)

Amulet of Leadership: This pendant or brooch bestows a character of any level the ability of a 9th-level fighter to attract men-at-arms. The amulet does not attract additional men-at-arms to a fighter who has already gained his followers.
A fighter normally gains troops at 9th level because his name is so well known that he attracts the loyalty of other warriors. The amulet works in much the same way. When a stranger meets a character wearing the amulet, the stranger perceives the character to be a leader who is destined for greatness, regardless of the character's class. Just as the reputation of a 9th-level fighter spreads, so the reputation of the person wearing the amulet spreads. Roll on Table 16 of the Player's Handbook to determine the followers.
Roll 1d100 to determine followers:
Roll 	Followers (all 0 level)
01-50	20 calvary with ring mail, shield, 3 javelins, long sword, hand axe; 100 infantry with scale mail, polearm (player selects type), and club.
51-75	20 infantry with splint mail, morning star, hand axe; 60 infantry with leather armor, pike, and short sword.
76-90	40 infantry with chain mail, heavy crossbow, light crossbow, and military fork.
91-99	10 cavalry with banded mail, shield, lance, bastard sword, and mace; 20 cavalry with scale mail, shield, lance, long sword, and mace; 30 cavalry with studded leather armor, shield, lance, and long sword.
00 	DM's option-Barbarians, headhunters, armed peasants, extra-heavy cavalry, etc.
If the amulet is lost or destroyed, the followers immediately lose faith in their leader. They gradually depart or desert. Once this occurs, the character's reputation is sullied such that he can never benefit from the amulet again. A fighter can, however, gain followers normally upon reaching 9th level.
