'''Followers''' are [[NPCs]] who assist your hero in his or her battle against the [[demons]] overrunning [[Sanctuary]]. There are three Followers in Diablo III, each of whom has a unique story, look, and combat style. They are: the [[Eirena]] the [[Enchantress]], [[Kormac]] the [[Templar]], and [[Lyndon]] the [[Scoundrel]]. There are no additional followers in [[Reaper of Souls]].
Each different type of follower offers a customizable skillset to either boost the player's effectiveness in a certain area, or cover a weakness in another. Details of those in this the skill section sections of the [[Templar]], [[Scoundrel]] and [[Enchantress#Skills|Enchantress]] pages. Followers' skills can be changed at any time by simply left clicking on the new skill you want, the other skill is automatically deselected.
[[File:Followerdetails.jpg|right|thumb|200px160px|Benefiting from a Scoundrel's items.]]Much like the player, followers gain experience, and also benefit from plus experience items. Followers level up along with the player, in a manner of speaking. However, a follower will never be more than one level behind the hero. Followers also benefit from bonuses such as the [[Massacre]] boost.==Gear==
Any gear or gems you equip on your follower that adds [[Gold Find]], [[Magic Find]] or [[Experience]] will add 20% to the player's total bonus for those. For example , a [[Hellfire Ring]] that adds +35% experience bonus , if worn by a follower , will be worth 7% bonus to the player. Note that Followers The 20% bonus can only equip weapons, rings, and amulets (shields as well on not take the player beyond the Templar)300% cap for GF/MF however.<ref>[http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6413021282?page=2#38 Follower Magic/Gold Find] - Blizzard CM, 24/08/2012</ref>
<blue>Vaeflare: As it stands currently, in order to receive the benefits of set bonuses, the set items need to be equipped on your main character. Set items equipped on Followers will not contribute to set bonuses.
We’re aware that this isn’t ideal, and we’re looking into some possibilities that would make using set items on Followers a more appealing choice in the future.</blue>
[[File:Ashearas-vestments.jpg|right|thumb|100px|Calling all Followers]]
There is an interesting set, Asheara's Vestments which, when all four items are equipped by a player, has a chance to summon all your followers, fully equipped. They will disappear after a period until the bonus chance spawns them again.
The specifics of what followers add to the player's stats is listed under 'Adventure' in their 'Details' tab, see the image on the right.
==Buffs==
There is no mechanism to feed [[health potion]]s to your Follower, though they do share in the benefit of [[health globe]]s, [[Nephalem Globe]]s. The Followers also possess various buffs and healing spells, which they can use to help your character, as well as themselves.
Any buffs that a player can apply to party members in a multiplayer game will apply to your follower when playing with them in a single player game.
Followers never die, they simply have a rest for a short while and will automatically return to your side once their health is restored.
==Follower Quests an Lore==
The followers, much like the [[Artisans]], are recruited through [[quests]] that the player must complete in order to gain their trust and companionship. Once this is done, the Followers can always be found in the town area, where a player may choose one of them to accompany him into battle. Followers have their own individual quests, which shed more light on their back story as well as the overall game plot. A player will need to work through the entire game with each of the followers, individually, to experience their full game plot and all of the quests.
