One of the great things about the dungeon worlds system I'm finding is that being short a class for one reason or another can be somewhat mitigated by the use of hirelings, rather than simply inserting a cadre of NPCs to carry the slack.

I for one intend to be all but GLUED to a minstrel, something about being the sort of person that employs someone to follow them around and sing their literal praises deeply appeals to me.
