17 sellswords

Hire them at the Tavern. They arrive at your level with a full kit, fight at your side, bicker with each other, pick up their own upgrades and go on expeditions when you're busy. Finish a sellsword's questline (they must be in your party) to earn their loyalty perk.

The roster

Some only appear once you've unlocked their class. The Tavern's level sets how many can join your party and who's on offer.
