</ul>
 Followers have unique personal skills, currently implemented:&nbsp;warrior,&nbsp;fighter,&nbsp;doctor, forager&nbsp;and&nbsp;scared. 
<ul>
<li>Doctors&nbsp;can fight with swords and also heal you if your health is under 30%. They can also try to save you before you collapse.</li>
<li>Warriors&nbsp;do more damage to monsters and are able to fight with swords and use critical defense&nbsp;fists in combat. They can also upgrade their swords.</li>
<li>Foragers&nbsp;can forage and occasionally share their findings with you.</li>
<li>Scared&nbsp;can be scared, screech&nbsp;and jump away when they see a monster, but don't worry, they can still fight (if they have a fighter skill). Mostly this "negative" skill is compensated by more powerful buffs.</li>
<li>Fighters&nbsp;are less powerful than warriors. They can level up and sync with player, and can upgrade their swords. It's a secondary skill, in most cases is assigned with any other skill.</li>
<li>Spirituals&nbsp;can send some peace&amp;love for monsters with their spiritual emergy and make them peaceful. Loved monsters will not attack you for limited time.</li>
<li>Fisherman&nbsp;can fish with fishing rod and share caught fishes with you.</li>

Two gameplay modes: Adventure (default) and Classic~
<div class="spoiler">
By default this mod is played in adventure mode. This mode adds quests and events for recruited followers. In order to recruit followers, you must first reach 20 level of the mines, be granted access to the Adventurer's guild and receive the letter from Marlon with an invitation to meet which will trigger the Introduction Event and have 66% of required heartlevel for recruit with any recruitable NPC. After this, you can invite villagers to follow you. You will receive Marlon&rsquo;s letter and trigger the new event after you reach level 20 in the mines, have you a 66% of required hearts with any recruitable NPC and have access to the Adventurer&rsquo;s Guild. If you&rsquo;ve already reached level 10 and have access before installing or updating this mod, you will receive the letter the next morning. If you don&rsquo;t want to use Adventure mode, and only want villagers to follow you, just disable &lsquo;Adventure mode&rsquo;&nbsp;in&nbsp;<a href="/linkout?remoteUrl=https%253a%252f%252fwww.npcadventures.dev%252fdocs%252fguide%252fconfiguration" rel="nofollow">configuration</a>.&nbsp;By disabling Adventure mode you enable Classic mode, which removes ALL extra quests and events! There are some companion events which are triggered during adventuring with your recruited companion.&nbsp;<a href="/linkout?remoteUrl=https%253a%252f%252fwww.npcadventures.dev%252fdocs%252fguide%252fevents" rel="nofollow">See the event list</a>
