hey I was wandering how much is it does it cost to hire mercenaries to help you in a campaign?

is there a formula out there?

and with that in mind how much should a level 6 player be paid as a mercenary for a king's army?

Ooh, there is. Umm, depends on the level, skills, and feats. It's in Arms and Equipment Guide. I'd look it up, but I'm outa here.

There's a section about cohorts and mercenaries in DMG; can't remember the page number though.

stronghold builder's guidebook says 6gp/month for a single soldier. excluding the cost of arms, food, etc. I'll go double-check that in a second

are we talkin above normal help? There's a table in either PHB or DMG that gives porters, mercs, animal caretakers etc.

i am talking about hiring someone to join you in a dungeon crawl.
(medium to high chance for injury or death, so yes beyond normal help)

i saw this question in another post and they mentioned the dmg price is something like an armed guard... so dunno...
