Mercenary Hiring screen display bug

[McFrugal]

Comparing my existing hireling to the ones on the for-hire list, I noticed that mine had more defense than ones her level on the list. At first I thought it was because she was my free Rogue from killing Blood Raven, but upon hiring a new one her level, I discovered that her defense had risen inexplicably upon joining me.

A level 10 Rogue is listed on the hire screen as having 71 Defense, but hire her and her screen shows 85 Defense even when equipped with nothing.

I have not tested this any further, as it's bedtime. When I check back tomorrow, if noone has added any information, I will investigate it some more.

It's a known display discrepancy. The hiring screen doesn't seem to take the merc's life-per-level and defense-per-level bonuses into account properly. Once hired, the mercs display their proper life and defense levels.
