Hireling

Hirelings are non-player characters (NPCs) that are employed steadily or contractually by characters to provide specific services for pay. Prices for work describe a minimum wage for employees; employers can, if they wish, pay more. Work is offered, and may be refused by hirelings who feel uncomfortable or misused by the employer. Depending on the location, it may be impossible to find persons of certain professions, but ordinarily there will always be labourers and other menials who can be obtained easily.

Enlistment

Main Article: Enlistment of Hirelings

Although the price of hirelings may be located alongside other goods and services, hirelings must be sought out. There are four methods of doing so: frequenting inns and taverns, hiring a crier, posting notices in public and hiring agents to seek prospects. The best candidates are found through the more expensive methods, but often quality isn't the goal. However, accepting anyone who applies may lead to hiring disreputable persons of low character; persons hired may be spies or outright villains. Most, however, will be responsible persons who recognize the security of having work, with a good healthy fear of poverty. Nevertheless, employers who hire NPCs have reason to be cautious.
