MERCENARY RECRUITING
To recruit mercenaries, you must be in a town or city.
Spend 1 week posting notices and spreading the word (The actual work will be done by SELL SWORDS GUILD if you recruit in Polychronopolis. For each 100gp you spend, 1d4 squads of 10 will show up, to a maximum of 10d4 in Polychronopolis, 4d4 in Shadar, 3d4 in Portburg and 1d4 in Farmington.
The offer of Livery and Maintenance is required and then the PC must make a CHA d20 check, which, if it passes means that the mercenaries join up with the PC. If the squad comes equipped with horses then an additional 100gp signing bonus is required. If the squad comes equipped with chain, scale or brigandine armor an additional 100gp signing bonus is required.
A character with the Recruiting Skill can spend a week and find exactly the species and type of mercenary desired instead a wider draw.
