I certainly agree that more "narrator notes" are indicated - most of the things brought up in this thread have been more in the "Here's another way to play it" than real rules changes once the dust settles.

The "Followers suffer more" rule is fine for fighting followers in combat, or debating followers in an argument, but not for a follower that is obviously unsuited *and not participating* in a contest. So it's narrator notes, not rules change that I see needed.
