Companions & Hirelings

You can have as many companions as you have companion slots, if you can convince them to follow you. Companions are picaroons in their own right.

Hirelings are temporary followers who expect to be remunerated at least weekly and daily if asked to face danger (costs in silver):

Feature Cost
HD +1 per die and die step
Domains +1 per die step
Tricks +1 per die, die step & extra use
