-===== Recruiting Hehchmen =====
+===== Recruiting =====
 If players want to recruit Retainers or Henchmen, they must spend at least a week of time and money in town. During this time, they are doing their best to find able-bodied free men interested in work.
-Retainers are all created from one of the retainer classes and are hired from the retainer deck.
+Retainers are all created from one of the retainer classes and are hired from the retainer deck. If players want to recruit Retainers, spend 1 week (and maintenance) looking. In Kingston, roll 2D6 adding the player's CHA bonus to the roll for the number of retainers drawn from the deck. In smaller towns, roll 1D6 plus CHA bonus. In a village roll 1D4, but only Laborers will be available. Retainers expect 10gp per HD per day and are hired for a single expedition.
-Henchmen may be recruited from the hench deck, in which case they usually start around 3rd level or so. Alternatively, they may be rolled by the player just like a new 1st level PC.
+Henchmen may be recruited from the hench deck, in which case they usually start around 3rd level or so. Alternatively, they may be rolled by the player just like a new 1st level PC. If players want to recruit Henchmen (and are eligible for such) spend a week in Kingston to attract 1D6+ CHA bonus or 1D4+CHA bonus in a smaller town for candidates.  A Charisma check must be passed to recruit a candidate. Henchmen are permanent followers, swearing an oath of homage. While they require no salary, there is a cost of 1gp per HD per day in general living expenses, and only advance in skill if you give them a treasure share.
-Recruiting requires a CHA check to draw potential followers, and a second successful check to convince one or more of them to join on with the PC patron.
