Hirelings, loyalty, and morale is a thread started over on Dragonsfoot by Attronarch. www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=92291
Now we have various threads on Hirelings and Henchman, etc, but here he lists some sources that maybe we should use to revisit the topic.
He asks if he has missed anything? I ask have we considered all of this information and if not, how would it alter what we do?
