Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Would it be possible to hire companions to lend a hand at certain level ranges?

For example:

Player visits Flaming Fist headquarters.

Player requests hiring Flaming Fist for bodyguard work.

Player is declined, but is informed that X,Y and Z mercenary company is currently on good terms with Flaming Fist, and should try there.

Player goes there, and learns that combatant types A,B,C,etc are avaialble for hire.

Player hires them for x amount per <period set by devs/GMs>

If player is X level, then price increases (or is not available at all in some cases)

Just a thought.

How about dual boxing and running your own patsy to handle the RAGE

I don't play with two accounts. I've just the one.

I think this has been discussed before. The main reasoning against this if I recall correctly was that it would discourage forming groups between players, which as a server dedicated to RP is a bad thing.
