Hirelings & Henchmen: Not in the DMG

LOL, indeed, Gutboy did get the nerf stick. But then again I didn't put much work/time into statting him properly. I'm sure someone with a bit more spare time on their hands could do a proper job ;).

One more thought -- If the idea of monetary upkeep is abhorrent to you (perhaps you hate bookkeeping), one could also allow PCs to "pay" for their employees with Powers.

Gaining 4 Grogs would likely be equal to a strong encounter power or perhaps a daily. Clerics have two dailies that summon up aid, but that aid is nigh impossible to kill. Offing minions is a lot easier.

Gaining 1 totally independent Companion would be equal to a daily (or perhaps a daily + a utility) plus all your AP for the day, I'd think. The economy of actions is such that extra actions on your side are VERY potent.
