So, build so far:
Necropolitan Draconic Lesser Aasimar (RoF, humanoid, not an outsider, no LA) Paladin of Laughter 9//Marshal 6/Legendary Leader 3
S:16, D:12, C:--, I:10, W:14, C:24 (4th, 8th)
1st: Flaws(Inattentive, Meager Fort), Great Diplomat (OA), Iron Will, EWP Kusari-Gama (DMG)
3rd: Ecclesiarch (EBCS)
6th: Leadership
9th: Rulership (Power of Faerun), Improved Cohort (HoB) (L.Ldr Bonus)
12th: ???
PC's Leadership Score: 28 (presuming power, renown and good treatment) or 30 w/ stronghold
For Homebrew, (or even better as 'standard') I'd like to be able to treat the Substitution levels of, say Champions of Valor, as ACF's instead; trading Detect Evil for Detect Magic, Smite for Favored Enemy Devils (Demons?), Divine Health for Everbright Armor, Warhorse for Divine Spirit (That's actually an ACF in CC, so not Homebrew)
-8th level Cohort, same build -1 lvls and -5 Leadership
---6th Co-Cohort -3 lvls and -8 Lshp
-----4th Co-Co-Cohort -5 lvls.
PC has 1 7th Necropolitan Draconic Lesser Aasimar Paladin of Laughter, with leadership (PC's score -8) (No gestalt or Prc's) follower (Trade Iron Will for...Improved Turning?)
Str 16, Dex 12, Con --, Int 10, Wis 15, Cha 20 (4th)
PC, Cohorts and Followers have umm... 5+ (possible infinite loop here; if Leadership reaches 21, the Leader gets 6th level followers) 6th level followers of same build
