Barring something from Kromm what I went with for DoA is this:
Quote:
Bard and Thief need reasons to be needed and wealth should matter. After today, if you want to benefit from a hireling in selling goods, you need to take them to the dungeon and they need to survive.
Only the first level of wealth is available on hireling of even 125 points
62 Point hirelings may not provide wealth but they provide assessing skills.

Mostly because I didn't want wealth to become a trap that you should work around with a hireling and because I did want the cost for a hireling that can do lots of merchant and connoisseur rolls to be better than taking the skills every time. Saving $200 per week of dungeon runs for 3 ish points in assessment skills seems like a fair deal.
