    Guns for Hire - Skills?

    Hello!

    Besides the "characters" Boomer, Nick, Grace etc. you can recruit 3 fighters/resistance members.

    My question is: Are their skills randomly assigned or are they "constant" characters?

    If the skills are not random, it would be nice, if anybody could tell me, where to find a soldier/an rpg, who collects herbs and marks enemies.

    Thanks!

    1) No set or generic NPC collects herbs, that I know of?

    2) Only Boomer tracks enemies the best, like those hard to spot rabbits, but I still prefer to do all the work tracking enemies, except for rabbits, so I just select Boomer for certain tasks, then remove him and continue with other NPC's.

    3) There are generic fighters and RPG NPC's all over the map. If you want a non generic character, then Hurk is your RPG guy and Sharky Boshaw would be your best madman soldier. I rarely use either, since I play stealth 95% of the time, and those 2 idiots give away my position. I usually have Betty Nichols (my in-game wife and bow and arrow specialist), and either Grace (Sharpshooter), or Jess (Bow and arrow specialist), with me at all times.

    They are assigned randomly. There is an herbs collector skill for the NPCs. I had one with it. If you don't like the skills, replace with a new NPC and roll the dice again. I just wish there was an NPC clad in a nice bikini.
