[QUOTE="Flipguarder, post: 4787062, member: 61430"] there are three options based on two intents that I see. If you want to make hiring the merc a choice (something they choose to do and they do it to make things easier not because they must) then Id give them just your standard amount of gold and items as deemed by the dmg and have them pay out of their own pocket. If you want the merc to join the party but still be "paid" by the party I would give the party the normal dmg parcels/level for the party of 4 and have the mercs rate be exactly 1/4 of that (this i believe will end up with all 3 of the pcs getting less in the long run Another option is if you need the merc to be in the campaign and dont want it to be a choice for them would be to give them the regular parcels for a party of 3 and add in extra gold = to the mercs fees. thats what id do at least.
