Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thurbane" data-source="post: 4015290" data-attributes="member: 43273">At last week's game, our group (party = 3x PCs and 1x NPC, 3rd level) discovered that it was hard work covering our "guard duty" shifts, especially with 2 casters needing a good night's sleep to recover spells.We also have the problem of having to leave our horses "hidden" outside while we explore dungeons. We've already almost had them stolen once (my raven familiar alerted us in time).I came upon the idea of hiring on a dogsbody/teamster type NPC for our party - someone to pull a shift on guard duty, keep an eye on the horses, help wrangle heavy treasure loads etc. But he won't be a combatant.I was thinking along the lines of a 1st or 2nd level warrior, or maybe expert. My group is a little divided - half of us think it's a good idea, half think it's bonkers. So has anyone else tried anything like this? I'm not exactly looking for a cohort, just a general hand to help us with non-combat related duties...</blockquote>
