Can hirelings be improved?

If hirelings count as full spot they should be able to contribute better.

One full bar of option can cut it for fighters but casters need to be allowed more options.

Also hopefully all the lever/rune/shrine issues are fixed up.

Clerics are likely the best of the lot but still have issues they should get a mini buff bar.

Wizards/Sorcs die way too easy and haven’t found one yet that seems to have meta magic feats extend and maximize should almost be default feats. They should also get an extra mini spell bar.

Warriors die too easy, get hit too often, hit for too little damage far too often they don’t do anything to contribute to a quest. Ideas to help them would be toughness feats and enhancements, better equipment and more focused stat adjustments when you hire a level 13th fighter and are in a 9th level quest and they do nothing but get killed fast and constantly you should know there is an issue.

I'm sure they will get balanced in time, and yeah the sorcs/wizards definitely need to run around for their own survival much like enemy casters do. But maybe with a tumble or block in there too.
