Yep, now that I look at it, it's got badness written all over it.

Obediance? Note that in most cases you aren't supposed to have to roll. It's just a control for when the narrator thinks it would make a good conflict, that he can do so if he thinks there's some conflict there to mine. So it's really like having the ability yourself for the most part. And you get a whole keyword for one HP, so....
BTW, mentioning drift, when I give points to bump up keywords, I allow players to bump up their follower's keywords as well. FWIW.
