Basically, yes; they make a check, and add a bonus to your roll. It's mostly estimation and approximation on my part, but help does make a difference... which makes sense. It's easier to raid a town with 10 hobgoblins than with 1.<br/><br/>I'm mostly just expecting NPC-like stats for these guys. They're hardly even worth the elite-array... let's see, given the roll, you can have up to 12 levels of warrior between them, no more than 3 to a single guy, and one commander, either a 3rd level fighter or marshal, or a 4th level warrior.
