Henchman were a big part of the game when I first started but no one ever wanted to touch them as the rules became more complicated with edition changes. Who gets to control them is another confounding factor that changes from game to game.<br /><br />I agree with your assessment, I know plenty who try to avoid Henchman for either the EXP or Treasure tax. I think ACKS is fair in their treasure comes from their Masters pile but the EXP is still hard to swallow. Still in early levels, it's better the red shirt take the hit than your PC. Or use DCC's method where everyone is a red shirt until you survive.Van Noahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13001103794042256370noreply@blogger.com
