Do People Switch Out Pawns Often?

[Shadow Wizard Fluffy Gang]

Hello, just had a question for the community.

I myself switch my Pawns pretty constantly as I like to complete the quests people have assigned to them (and usually net myself a nice reward in the process).
I don't tend to have them die much at all in my game so I end up dismissing them once their quest is complete and I arrive back in town for a big rift stone to peruse.

[p00se2]

yes

because im always looking for kill X for 10k gold

I switch them up when I've gained a few levels and they're lagging behind. Or when I switch vocations on my arisen&main, and need to change the party makeup. I might get a couple pawn quests done every couple hours of play. /shrug

[Keldrath]

if i outleveled them a bunch, if they slipped into the brine, if i maxed a vocation and switch to another one and need a different class for a pawn, if the pawn has a worse loadout than the new one i just found. yeah.

[D. Flame]

I only switch when they get to weak to keep up, fall in the brine as I am exploring, or they get lippy.

Dragon's Plague has, funnily enough, made the community far more toxic. I would have been absolutely aghast at the thought of letting another player's pawn fall in the brine in DDDA. But in DD2, I will toss them in on purpose at the first sign of lip.

I keep em for awhile if there good. And I always give a nice reward unlike others lol!

I don't but that's because I spend most of my time out in the wilderness hunting big things.
But whenever I get back to a town I will switch up.

[Kaynos]

As soon as I outleveled them by 3-4 levels. I don't hire pawn higher level than me to save RC.

[Jackal]

i keep them until their quest is done, but i literally spent like 5+ hours trying to find a single cyclops
everyone complaining about reusing enemies man its a struggle to find the ones you want

Subtopic and not trying to derail. What do you guys give as a gift to pawns you like?
I am leveling slowly and always out of money, so curious what you all afford to give?

[Daniel]

I usually switch them out when they are lagging behind in lvl.

[kwauntum]

I switch mine out every five levels. You kind of have to because only your personal Pawn can level up with you.

I usually try to give them something that they can use. Like meat for when they camp next or mighty rouborant.

[Big Sloppie]

Yes. Hard to keep track of the pawns when I’m too busy throwing them off cliffs to get to a ledge for a chest.

[Nox]

after level 50 or so, i level slowly enough that I don't need to keep cycling out pawns. I'll hire them 2 levels ahead of me so I can stick with them a while.

I have a mage main pawn that is pure support, and I am pretty choosy about the other two for traits and whatnot.

The character I inadvertantly switch out most often is the rogue because hilariously they end up dying in the weirdest ways. I just had one ride a cyclops off a cliff like Maj. T. J. "King" Kong from dr strangelove.

Previously the other rogue got thrown into the ocean by an ogre.
