'''Hirelings''' are recruitable characters who can join and fight alongside the player. Each has a fixed name, race, background, and appearance but can be respecced at any time.
 
== Recruitment ==
A hireling can be recruited by speaking to Withers at any time and paying 100 [[gold]]. Hirelings can be recruited even if the party is full at the time.<ref>As of [https://baldursgate3.game/news/patch-6-now-live_108 Patch #6]</ref> In addition to sending them to camp, the player can choose to permanently dismiss them back to the fugue plane for no cost. A hireling dismissed this way can still be re-recruited from Withers later on.
