Quick notes

Henchmen complement one hero. The Wailing Death campaign ordinarily permits one henchman alongside the player.
Choose the missing job. A heavily armored warrior often appreciates Tomi's utility or Linu's divine help.
Talk after chapter progress. Henchmen have personal stories and requests.
Campaign rules differ. Expansion adventures and community modules can change companion limits and equipment access.

Useful tip

Expansion adventures and community modules can change companion limits and equipment access. Advice for Deekin in an expansion should not be presented as a Wailing Death recruitment location.
