The slaad stones aren't very good. I bought the expensive reusable one for RP purposes, in combat it's a little below the animate dead giant skeleton; about half the damage output but with better survivability due to its regen. Because it's large, it also has a tendency to get stuck.

If you're looking for a combat henchie, you want to look at golems or 10 level PrC abilities. Edit: I recommend asking around to see how good the PrC henchies are. I would have suggested the shadowdancer one in the past, but after actually using it, I've found it's quite weak. I hear the Palemaster henchman summon isn't too bad though.

I wouldn't count on the SD level 10 summon to do much other than cast a buff then immediately die.

All the "rentable" henchmen are not going to measure up to what can be gained by spells or class. With good buffs, a few of them can survive into the mid-teens, but by the time you're in the abyss their only use is if you want to RP sacrificing something to monsters. :D

They are:

  • Rogue contract (Hive Ward Black Market) - levels 5, 10, and 15 Rogue for 500/1500/3000 jink
  • Thug contract (Hive Ward Black Market) - levels 5, 10, and 15 Fighter for 500/1500/3000 jink
  • Artillery Mechanid (Root-of-Nine Warehouse) - levels 5, 10, and 15 Warlock for 500/1500/3000 jink
  • Combat Mechanid (Root-of-Nine Warehouse) - Levels 5, 10, and 15 Monk for 500/1500/3000 jink
  • Slaad Stones (Mnitvaak's Emporium) - Levels 7, 8, 9, 10 Outsider for 1500/1800/2000/2500 jink; all have special magic abilities, the more expensive the more they have.
  • Demonic Truenames (Temple of the Abyss) -Various demons up to level 10, but definitely more intended as RP aids.

We ran to the sounds of the thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
and tore the world asunder.
