I'm a huge fan of retainers, so always glad to see more of them! I must confess that at my table retainers in combat have almost exclusively been used as replacements for heroes missing a session, and these ones don't really work for that purpose... Although that's neither here nor there in terms of the jam.

I love the art. It's almost distractingly good! I like the archetypes the retainers cover and think the abilities are nice and flavorful. Others will have more useful feedback in terms of balance. The one thing I will note that I would have liked here is more features for leveling up the retainers. They have their higher level abilities, but presumably the Stamina and Characteristics also increase? Other than that, excellent entry, well done! :)

Appreciate the review! Since apprentices are retainers, they're intended to level up like other retainers do as described in the back of the Monsters book, which provides the bonuses you've mentioned and gives alternate options for role advancement abilities if the ones in here aren't as appealing. I'll make a note of that in the next version so it's clear for folks. 

That is totally fair and on me for not thinking about that, haha. A sentence of clarification might be good to help idiots like me understand how it works :D
