A Company of Adventurers

Many an adventuring company seeks gold and glory in the wild places of the world.
Comprised of powerful heroes and those expendables that flock to their side, adventuring
companies are a dangerous, short-lived force of nature that promises ill to all that stands
in their way.

A warband of adventurers must consist of at least three individuals, including at least one
hero, and may include no more than twelve individuals, five heroes and seven henchmen.
An adventuring company’s leader is whichever hero has the highest leadership at the start
of a battle. Because of this fluid command structure the leader does not gain the
advantage of the “leader” ability, though it can be purchased by any hero as a skill.

These desperate warriors are willing to risk everything in the hopes of sharing in the
wealth and glory that comes to adventuring companies as surely as death. While often
capable in their own right, these individuals can be a little skittish when the reassuring
presence of an adventurer isn’t near at hand.
