Henchman

Henchmen are computer-controlled characters that you may elect to enlist in your party once you've left Pre-Searing Ascalon. Their skills and attributes grow with their levels as you progress through the game (some of the skills filled in from this article).


 * Henchmen count as party members and as such affect the amount of experience gained and loot assigned to player.
 * Henchmen will primarily attack whatever the party leader is attacking. This is both positive and negative. In genral you can crack down on one enemy quickly, but at times you wish you can hit a monster while your spell-casters handle enemy spell-casters.
 * Each henchman has at least a Signet of Resurrection and can use it on players although they typically will not revive anyone while engaged.
