Hey, supposing a player character wants to recruit some folks to help him out. How much would they probably want to be paid, and how would this differ depending on their fighting abilities?

Quite a bit unless your a noble and quite a lot especially if they have a decnet rep.
I wanna say that the average soldier is paid 5sp per week plus food and such. but i havent looked for that sort of thing lately |

that sounds close to what i have been charging (or overcharging actually, because I am charging like a silver mark more... I don't want to encourage army building too much...)

You should have seen the look on my groups collective face when they first found out that they wouldnt be gaining a level because of their hired muscle. Them: what do you mean we dont get a level 10000 divided by four is 2500 thats the next level. Me: yes... but 10000 divvided by eight doesnt quite get you there. Them: ..... Me: You think they'll believe that after they saw the monster's horde? Them: |

You do have a point. So, if I assume that they eat straight trail rations, that would be 55 sp weekly...
