We've got a couple guys to carry torches and treasure and a third guy just to carry treasure. We and the ref agree that their purpose is really just logistical (not as secondary PCs) and it works fine. Occasionally one gets injured by a range weapon, but they mostly stay out of the way and don't get involved in combat. It's really different from having a PC (we're not leveling them up or anything, for example). The players are all pretty mature and no one abuses the hirelings - trying to hire a ninja, using the torchbearer as a fighter or to set off traps, etc. If someone finds that they're not working well for their group, just don't use them.</p></blockquote><p></p>
