Super Obscure Question

[Conner Macleod]

Since they are considered part of your party and do get thorn or might auras when you are around, when they actually do kill (I've seen them actually kill a monster or two) you should receive experience points. Good way to test it is to turn off your magic killing auras and let them drop a monster or two, while watching your experience points at the same time. You should see yourself receiving a few points for their help since they are nothing more than additional mercs.

I'm going to run that test now because I am curious.
