Mercenaries are a common faction in fantasy fiction, but when was the last time your group hired someone? We have to imagine, in a world where adventuring is allowed, mercenaries are everywhere. In a world defined as “points of light,” towns need to have go-to guys they can count on. Where are they?
Here’s a selection of mercenaries, eager for work, ready to be placed into your campaign. Their qualifications? Combat speed and a certain… knack. Each is created with the intention of quick, efficient combat and a usefulness your party can admire. Their damage is decent, their choices and hit points are low. They are mercenaries for hire.

Thanks so much! If you ever use one of these characters, I’d love to hear how he played! Thanks for reading.
VERY NICE! I love when a site creates something that cut down prep time for me as a DM. Are these in PDF form for easy printing?
Great post. More of this!
Glad you liked it! I’ll get them into PDF soon, don’t know why I hadn’t thought of that sooner.
