Mercenary card
The Mercenary card offers a mercenary for a fee. The fee is roughly the XP value of the mercenary offered, plus or minus 15 percent. If the player cannot or chooses not to purchase the ally, it will be created hostile. It is a durable summons, which means that it is worth no experience, can't be abjured, can't time out, and doesn't leave any equipment behind. However, it can pick up new equipment to better arm itself. This is the list of possible mercenaries in ascending order of power:
- K
Big kobold - m
Merfolk - N
Naga - H
Tengu - q
Deep dwarf scion - e
Deep elf conjurer - o
Orc knight - 6 A random base demonspawn
- O
Ogre mage - H
Minotaur - d A random base draconian
- e
Deep elf blademaster
High card power increases the chances of getting a stronger mercenary.
