[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5734711, member: 1210"] Yes, several times! I more or less winged it each time, though. In my current (4e) campaign, the pcs took over their local area after discovering that the "governor" of the area, who kept to himself in an isolated tower, hadn't actually been around for about 20 years. When word got out, a local free company of mercenaries tried to muscle in and actually took one of their towns for a couple of months. They defeated them with a combination of poorly-trained peasant militia and surgical strikes against the leadership. But pretty much their lackeys are low-heroic level minions, with a few notable exceptions- they picked up an npc level 1 minion and dragged him along on some adventures, and he's gradually improved from "minion" to "not a minion" to "holy crap, he killed a dragon? Let's give him another level" to "damn, he keeps saving the day" to now, when he's become a paragon-level npc sometimes companion/sometimes guardian of their lands. [/QUOTE]
