But on traits you can only change the chevrons of your bodyguards, not the amount of people or am I wrong now?
Personal safety could be. I'll check it on my general.

Checked. Evily -10 penalty to personal security. If this influence the amount of people in my bodyguard I understand my little numbers.
But I can hardly understand why this should effect his guard -.-
Since penalty comes half from the trait "Conquorer" (-5) which is not a reason for missing bodyguards :P
