Your Leadership affects the other characters around you, but
doesn't affect you. Someone
else's Leadership
does affect you.
Your leadership gives everyone around you escalating bonuses that max out at:
- Willpower +1
- Body Building +1
- Initiative +10
- Damage +15%
- Chance to hit +10%
- Critical Chance +2%
- Immune to Fear
- Armour +10%
The Willpower bonus - again, for everyone around you, but not you - kicks in at Leadership 5.
The Independent Trait gives you +1 Willpower. This is independent (sorry) of any other Willpower effects, including someone else's Leadership. So if you are Independent, you have:
- +1 Willpower with no Leader in sight
- +1 Willpower when affected by someone else's Leadership 1-4
- +2 Willpower when affected by someone else's Leadership 5 or better.
The Obedient Trait adds +1 Willpower to the effect someone else's Leadership has on you, but does nothing for you if no Leader is in sight. So if you are Obedient, you have:
- no benefit to Willpower with no Leader in sight
- +1 Willpower when affected by someone else's Leadership 1-4
- +2 Willpower when affected by someone else's Leadership 5 or better.
Does that help?
Generally, I am finding
the Divinity Wiki very helpful in working this stuff out.
