I understand that. But at epic levels, with the Leadership feat and subsequent enhancements, you can have enough mage wrights and adepts that you can summon anything you want to do the exact same thing. Also, any given necromancer can only hold so much. Trust me, I totally see the benefit - no matter how many you lose, you get more. That's incredible. But once you get ten times the number of followers, all of which are spell casters (minor or not) you suddenly have real power on your hands. Plus at epic leadership, you (eventually) start getting up to - at least ten - twentieth level followers. Conjuring suddenly becomes quite impressive, especially Mage Wrights. Even with only Adepts, you still have tons of power on your side at that point. By that point, it doesn't matter if you care about your followers or not. Simply have them win DnD
for you. Of course, it's no where nearly as powerful as the Thrallherd Chain Trick (tm)
