And once again I disagree. Tabletop is not impossible to implement in a PC game.
Not sure who are you disagreeing with ... since nobody said this. O_o But good for you i gues. :-/

Ok ... So i go with party of 4 ... Tav, Gale, Wyll and Shadowheart ... I will be a Ranger, and will have a Pet ... Gale will have summoned familiar ... Wyll will have summoned familiar ... and Shadowheart use scroll to summon Shovel the Quasit ...
We are party of 4 ... so the game does nothing even tho there is 8 of us. So everything is fine.
Then we just add Lae'zel to the equation ... And lets say that we rested, so Shovel is not with us anymore ... and this time i dont want to spend spellslot to sumon familiar with Gale ...
Now there is 7 of us ... but what just happened? Some goblin is following us, bcs "there is suspiciously many of us now". -_- That indeed sounds perfectly logical. xD
Or we can make it even funnier ... lets presume the game will count whole party not just character members. I didnt try it myself, but i heared that if you summon a Zombie and it bites someone, that one can turn into another Zombie under your control: Your party of 5 (familiars and followers included) is fine: > sumon a zombie - SUSPICIOUS! > dismiss a zombie - FINE, nobody care. > sumon a zombie - SUSPICIOUS! > dismiss a zombie - FINE, nobody care. > sumon a zombie - SUSPICIOUS! > dismiss a zombie - FINE, nobody care.
See what i mean?

Eh ... no. No, they dont ... i mean in Goblin camp, since that is example you picked ... they outumber you in ratio 4:1 ... even if you take all your companions and 3 Tavs to have 8 characters in total ... wich is maximum party you can have now ... they still outnumber you 2:1 ...
What makes you so suspicious in larger group? Especialy if we take under concideration that even single Wizard on apropriate level can decimate 90% of them with SINGLE fireball?
I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!
