[QUOTE="James Heard, post: 2465886, member: 7280"] All the hireling prices are directly from the equipment section of the PHB I think - I wasn't looking to get anyone fancy or soldiers, because I thought the way you were talking we were going to have a game centering on intrigue and city politics. I suppose they're as loyal as my money, the future promise of money (because I have influence and get things done) and fear will make them. They're not regular House sorts, because I figured that "my own personal army" of folks would be more flexible than trying to beg for armsmen that answered to someone else. It just doesn't do anything for me much. I could have done everything I really wanted to do with the character better than anything I can do now if I'd been able to trade that Aristocrat level for a level of Sorcerer - basically for my character it's just a couple thousand experience points blown to get into the Committe I guess. The only thing it REALLY does for me is makes it illogical for me to multiclass out of Rogue except for a PrC. That's not to say it might not have been a better class for people who made up builds that needed skill points. I might have gone into the class all the way perhaps if we'd started at level 6 for the bonus feat, if the bonus feat came a level early (making it the quickest possible way to get leadership) I'd have been on it like white on rice.
