Your Commander leads your troops in battle and affects the company recruits through Archetype traits. If a commander is killed your company Morale is immediately reduced by 2. A Commander advances just like any other generic recruit, taking feats and choosing a class track (Warrior,Ranger,Sorcerer). In addition, Commanders take on an Archetype trait. You may choose new Archetypes if you need to replace your Commander. You may promote a new Commander from your company recruits if your starting Commander dies.

Archetypes: (pick one when creating your company commander, pick a new one each time your commander is killed or replaced.)
Roaming: +1 DEX to all Ranger Track recruits (Including hunter, scout, skirmisher) Company starts with 1 bonus hunter recruit.
Sellsword: +1 CON to all Warrior Recruits. (Including militia, footman, soldier) Company starts with 1 bonus militia recruit.
Mysticism: +1 WIS to all Sorcerer Track recruits. (Including novice, adept, initiate) Company starts with 1 bonus novice recruit.
Salty Dog: +1 CON/DEX/WIS to all mercenaries when taking contracts at sea (Port Cities/territories). Company starts with 1 Boat.
Nomad: +1 CON/DEX/WIS to all mercenaries when taking contracts in plains/desert territory. Self-reliance has taught you how to live simply. Office upkeep each reduced by 5g.
Silver Tongue: Contracts yield 10% better profits. Start with an extra 50g.
Enabler: Morale +10% Morale per succesful contract/mission. Company Morale starts at 5.

This might look intimidating, but it's really just adding one to every attribute each level + one for the class main attribute (CON for militia, DEX for Hunter etc.)and one for HP/Upkeep per class level.

Note: If you have a suggestion for a feat just ask!

Equipment, for the sake of simplicity is meant to include every piece of armor, weapon etc. that the character would need. No need to pick weapon, shield, helmet, armor, boots etc. just purchase 1 equipment per character. Equipment effects CON/DEX/WIS either negatively or positively depending on the quality. For instance, Poor Quality equipment reduces my CON/DEX/WIS by -1 (probably want to get some better gear!)

Quality / Effect / Buy / Sell
Poor / -1 / 1g / n/a
Standard / +1 / 10g / 5g
Fine / +2 / 25g / 12g
Perfect / +3 / 50g / 25g
Masterwork +4 / 100g / 45g
Legendary +5 / 250g / NoSale

Note: Some Legendary Equipment may bestow additional effects.

Medicine is used in between turns but you still tell me which medicine you used on which mercenary with your turn orders. I.e. "I used 1 Fine medicine on Jon Doe to heal 1 HP, so his HP is back to full. " etc.

Name / Effect / Buy / Sell
Medicine / +1HP / 10g / 5g

Company History: Gunnar Løfgren served ten years as a man-at-arms for King Voldrim at Raxas Castle. Gunnar has always been devoutly loyal to the king and still feels a passion towards the man; a heart filled with respect. He left the service of his King in order to begin his own venture as a private contractor. The King holds no ill will towards Gunnar and is willing to give the Eaton Cutlery Company a contract from time to time. What the King appreciates about hiring the Cutlery Company is that there is no direct connection with Raxas Castle if a hired mercenary performs his dirty deeds. This puts Eaton Cutlery in good faith with the King of Raxas, giving them a positive reputation with the Kingdom of Raxas.

Bjørn Fisker, Seth Bergstrom, and Manfred Engman all served as Men-at-Arms with Gunnar in Raxas Castle. They were not in as high a position as Gunnar Løfgren, instead serving under him during various Raxas military operations. The troop of mounted Men-at-Arms they served operated extensively in the forests and mountains west of Raxas Castle as well as Gor's Crossing to the south. The four men are veterans of numerous clashes with the Kingdom of Karnoras. They have a negative reputation with this rival Kingdom.

Wade Fredericksen is a drunken physician who fell in with Gunnar about a year ago. Gunnar has saved the wayward witch doctor in more ways than one. Although the Doctor is an accomplished Brewer, Gunnar and company constantly make forays into keeping the mead out of the good doctor's hands and in turn abdomen.

Pasha Lang and Godfrey Akerman are a Ranger and a Wizard who are still quite young in their chosen professions and have been hired out just within the past two weeks to help them in pursuit of Company objectives. Their goal is to learn as much about their craft and improve as well as they can.

The name, Eaton Cutlery Company was conceived by Seth Bergstrom, the most talented fighter of the four. Seth's father is an experienced blacksmith in Eaton, equipping the four men in decent gear for their newly found venture. The elder Bergstrom boasts he has made more knives and cooking utensils than swords and armor. He often joked about being the city's craftsman of cutlery rather than someone who makes armor or weapons. It is an oft told joke around the Bergstrom household. When Gunnar heard the story, he thought this was a great name for their company of adventurers; rather than take on some name that might make people believe they were hired soldiers. All six men of the company are natives to Eaton.
