# US-008: Support the Vigilante and Followers
As the **Vigilante**, I want nearby living Followers to strengthen me against the Tyrant so that coordinated resistance is rewarded.
## Acceptance criteria
- [x] A running game has at most one active Vigilante; a vacancy remains open until an eligible player defeats the arena boss.
- [x] The Vigilante can invite eligible opted-in players to become Followers, and recruitment requires acceptance.
- [x] The Vigilante can dismiss Followers and Followers can leave voluntarily.
- [x] While actively fighting the Tyrant, the Vigilante gains one potion level each of Strength and Resistance per living Follower in the same world within 50 blocks.
- [x] Offline, dead, opted-out, dismissed, or out-of-range Followers do not count.
- [x] A Vigilante or Follower may simultaneously hold one Tyrant-side class without losing Vigilante-side membership.
- [x] Effect levels update promptly as combat starts or ends and as Followers move, die, respawn, disconnect, or change assignment.
- [x] Scaling is capped by validated configuration, defaulting to Strength V and Resistance IV.
- [x] Every Vigilante death ends the assignment and opens the one-player arena challenge while a Tyrant is active.
- [x] The deceased Vigilante may immediately compete again under the same arena eligibility and reset rules as every other participant.
- [x] Followers are cleared rather than transferred when their Vigilante dies or loses the position.
- [x] The Tyrant is never eligible to be selected as Vigilante.
- [x] The Vigilante can review, invite, and dismiss Followers through the Vigilante control panel.
- [x] Control-panel and command-based Follower actions enforce identical eligibility and membership rules.
- [x] The control panel communicates the current nearby-Follower combat contribution and configured effect caps.
- [x] Relinquishing through the control panel clears Followers and opens the Vigilante arena challenge.
