Mercenaries

Mercenaries are recruitable allies. These allies gain experience, like players do, but have predefined skills, depending on their class. Mercenaries have a logic toggle, which determines their behaviour and skills (Aggressive, Defensive, Supportive, Idle). Each Mercenary comes with a passive boost that affects the player. Mercenaries can be equipped with weapons and armour. Mercenaries require to be fed in order to be able to fight for the player. Bifrost can accommodate a party of 3 characters - Mercenaries can be used to accompany the player, however, if another player joins the party, one Mercenary will be removed. Mercenaries can be acquired through AI NPC interactions - players can persuade NPCs to join their party.
