Weekly Beasties: Sellsword (d20)
Mercenaries¸ soldiers of fortune¸ scum of the earth; the Sellsword goes by many names. Driven by a thirst for gold and plunder¸ they'll go to war for anyone so long as the price is right.
While this fluid loyalty gives them a bad reputation among respectable circles¸ there are few who would deny their usefulness in times of strife. When war is a foot¸ a troop of skilled Sellswords can make the difference between victory in war and the shame of defeat.
Just make sure they're well paid. It'd be a shame to find their swords in your back.
