Thread Title : Question on 1st edition cavalier (UA)

I have a question regarding the cavalier from Unearthed Arcana.  Do the retainers he must hire get subtracted from his total number of henchmen or are they seperate?


Thanks

Retainers are usually specialists and very low-level fighters (except lieutenants and captains).  Henchman are more heroic true adventurers of a higher caliber.  Usually they become henchmen due to needing money, experience, or they idolize the PCs.  Charisma limits henchmen and not retainers (otherwise you could never build an army!).

I would think that they would be a retainer, unless you wanted to take it as a henchman.  The retainer would be with the cavalier for training and would rotate out as he progressed.  The henchman would rise in levels and stay the character (assuming he's paid regularly!).
