Hirelings and Hireling special abilities

Norse · 11-16-2017, 05:33 PM

A basic Hireling allows you to carry and use one extra item. We always interpreted that as "you may have 1 extra item equipped", sorta like a "Cheat!" card. However, the thief Hireling also gives me "1 extra hand", does that mean I can equip a 2-handed item (can carry and use one extra item that is legal for a thief to use) and a 1 handed item (due to the thief having 1 extra hand)?
The Bard Hireling says you are allowed to "carry and use any one item that is legal for a bard to use. its bonuses and abilities works for you.". Does that refer to the item I choose to equip my Hireling with, or does that mean the abilities and bonus of the Bard class?
What sex is a Hireling by default? Is it the same sex that is shown on the card? If no sex is obvious, can the player choose or is that hireling not allowed to carry gender-specific items?
