Hey there! So, you're diving into Neverwinter and wondering about those helpful folks who can tag along with you? Those are called henchmen, and they're basically companions who'll join your [PC](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Player_character "Player character") as an [associate](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Associate "Associate") to fight alongside you. Some [modules](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Module "Module") weave them into the story, others just give them to you as extra muscle, and some don't have them at all. Just a heads-up, bringing along too many buddies can lead to a [party size penalty](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Party_size_penalty "Party size penalty"), so keep that in mind! The number of henchmen you can have at once really depends on the module. In the [original](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Original_campaign "Original campaign") and [Shadows of Undrentide](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Shadows_of_Undrentide "Shadows of Undrentide") campaigns, you're limited to just one henchman. But if you're playing [Hordes of the Underdark](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Hordes_of_the_Underdark "Hordes of the Underdark"), you can have up to two! ### Henchmen in the Official Campaigns Original Campaign: Keep an eye out for [Boddyknock Glinckle](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Boddyknock_Glinckle "Boddyknock Glinckle"), [Daelan Red Tiger](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Daelan_Red_Tiger "Daelan Red Tiger"), [Grimgnaw](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Grimgnaw "Grimgnaw"), [Linu La'neral](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Linu_La%27neral "Linu La'neral"), [Sharwyn](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Sharwyn "Sharwyn"), and [Tomi Undergallows](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Tomi_Undergallows "Tomi Undergallows").
