## Retainers

Rules for retainers appear in the “Followers” section of Strongholds & Followers (page 69). Using those rules, you can add the following Beastheart retainers to your game!

For simplicity, all the retainers below are assumed to be with their companion at all times, either mounting them, or with their companion on their shoulder. As such, an additional 'size' category has been added, where the size of a retainer is large, during combat, they're always riding their companion, and can't be removed from it.
