	Followers is a term that refers to any MOB in a group that is not the leader. Followers can be ordered by the leader. While it is possible to have a nested command of leaders (Mob C follows Mob B, who follows Mob A), only a leader may issue orders to a follower. Note: The overall party leader must have a high enough charisma to account for ALL followers in the group, even those following other members of the group.

	Groups in CoffeeMUD allow multiple players and/or mobs to travel together with less risk of separation. Using the [[FOLLOW]] command, players may follow a mob or player that has sufficient charisma to accept the additional follower. The person being followed is the group leader, and the group leader must have sufficient charisma for all members of the party. You cannot daisy-chain followers to create a larger group than the leader's charisma allows at the time the follow command is issued. Certain abilities may only be used on fellow group members.
