Or if he can pick up items from things he kills. Is it possible for independents to do this?

I once sent a band of my own heroes after Bogus and gang. They lost miserably and Bogus and his pals took all my stuff.

Who's Bogus?

Basically independent SCs.

Dom 2's equivalent of the Boogey Man. It's whom the peasants use to scare their children into doing what they're told. It's a nightmare for anyone who doesn't have a fully-equipped SC (or several mini-SCs).

Then there's our pal, Orion & company ...

Bogus and company are hard, but I think Orion is over-rated. 1000 xp? Big deal. Anyway, the AI seems to get Orion killed real fast whenever they hire him. Bogus' people on the other hand have really cool stuff and that guy with the lifesteal sword is especially tough.

Normally, a band of commanders will route as soon as any one of them is killed. But, IIRC, this is not true of Bogus and colleagues. Am I right on this, and if so, what is going on?

Bogus can go berserk. Kartuk can summon ghost wolves. If this occurs they won't rout.

By implication, does this mean that you can always prevent a commander from routing by giving them the "magical trinket" named Berserker Pelt?
