Urban Strife’s cast includes faction leaders, settlement residents, combatants, traders, and quest-linked companions. The recruit table covers the campaign’s recruitable character roster; earlier choices can change the exact dialogue route.
Attribute strings use AGI/DEX/END/INT/MRK/STR in that order. Recruitment is tied to the listed quest area; the exact dialogue route can vary with earlier choices.
Trader stock is expanded in the loot and inventories guide.
