I'm developing a game with RPG Maker VX Ace. In this game, one of your followers is ghost-like demon that observes the player. I was going to have him appear during dialogues, but all of the playtesters were getting confused as he looks like the character the player interacts with.

I decided to make him a follower so it gets less confusing, but I don't think it would be interesting for him to participate in fights, as he would be too overpowered. I was able to prevent him from attacking, but not able to prevent him from being attacked.

How can I make this follow not participate in fighting at all?

Before every battle, have the game trigger a Common Event that removes him as a follower from the party. Using some more battle scripting within the Database > Troops menu can add him back as a follower when the battle is won.
You can also have him be a follower just as a basic event that travels along with you, and therefore, cannot enter into battle alongside the party.
