Note some of the changes were also due to historical reasons if I remember correctly.

@Jolt bodyguards from other tribes,...shouldn't be recruitable.Even if only one could be recruited. And if it would be limited this much, it would be waste of the model slot. Unless there is evidence that suggest they were used frequently and are effictively attested. However I don't see that happening. SO I guess we can safely state they won't make it.

The armor they use is Heavy chain mail and a layer of fishscale armor. IIRC.
