Default Creating a mule :) -- Reputation and Followers

One of the aspects of the SW RPG (I'm an avid SW P/P RPG fan :) is the ability for a player to take on followers. I've also seen some of the gorgeous screenshots of Dungeon Seige, but I've really noted the ones that have a pack mule. Doing some hotfixes this morning with the cult code got me thinking, what if your reputation earned a mule -- after all, it is easy to setup an npc to follow you around, and to flag it as a bank too.

When you zone into a realm, typically your faction data is determined. Thus, using that faction data, if you have high enough faction with the locals, a single pack mule (that functions as a banker) comes out to follow you around.

So.. If your faction is maxed, then spawn a npctype of that faction, and send it to follow you around (with checks to make sure only 1 mule follows you).

Shouldn't be that bad, I've got 3/4 of it already done =P
