Let me know which items you found the most profitable please.

Ok. Would you please define "refill" in "on a success refill food and water."?


Also, I think this mercenary's talents look like a typo:
Human Hero Mercenary recruit ST 11 DX 12 IQ 12 MA 10
Mace(2d-1) Small Shield(1)
Alertness, Ax/Mace, Carousing, Goblinish, Horsemanship, Humanish, Knife, Missile Weapons, Quarterstaff, Recognize Value, Shield, Sword, Unarmed Combat I

* You don't list what level of Missile Weapons
* You don't list any missile weapon talents, so Missile Weapons seems unusable and inappropriate unless he's used to being equipped with lightning rods or something.
* He's a 35 point character with IQ 12 and 16-18 points in talents?


Actually, a lot of them seem to have a few more talents than IQ (mainly due to redundant weapon talents), and don't seem to be equipped with the weapons they have talents for.

These are medium level characters. Good catch on missile weapons, will add a test for that.

(Just an aside, but they seem to pretty much all have a lot of peculiar talents, especially languages and peculiar weapons they don't use. It doesn't really affect playing the scenario, and may be more of a comment of the new weird XP/talent rules, but if he'd started as a 32-point PC, he'd have to spend 400 XP on attributes and (even if he started with IQ 12) 2000 - 3000 XP on random talents. I'm actually very amused/entertained, because it reminds me of the various times in our old TFT campaigns that, even with human-designed mercenaries and NPC companions, the players were often bemused by the peculiar and not-really-helpful abilities of their NPC assistants.)

Rest or Reset ?

It's a reset as you get new hirelings.

I'd like to automate all the encounter rolls, but I really don't want to run a big local database with everybody's characters in it.
