Go to tab "Other"

Select "Click to add new Mount or Hireling"

Choose the Hireling option.

Now this has attached a new NPC to the character.

They appear on the side Dashboard in green under the character they belong to.

Go into the character (either by dashboard or the edit icon for Hireling entry)

Now you can edit the NPC as a character.

For Cohorts I set them at character builds 1 level less than PC, and followers at 1 level below cohorts to help make the player characters better overall.

PC 25 point buy, Cohort 20 point buy, Follower 15 point buy.

Now you can make it any race / class you want and add equipment.

Note: all equipment for hirelings are listed as part of the equipment gp total of the character they belong to. And when you mouse over the equipment value it is added to that part of the list.

(mouse over works on a lot of things in the tool to display information if you have not tried that yet)

The main downside to this is it does slow the program down.
