Heroes, henchies and bounties

Does anyone know if any of the bounties effect heroes or henchmen in any way ?

Naturally they can't get any effect when the bounties give points to a title track. So I'm only interested in the other effects of the bounties.



These first two images show me losing 5dp while Koss only loses 2. Allowing for the fact that we are unlikely to both lose dp at the same time, this suggests I'm earning experience at about twice the rate of Koss, which is what the bounty I have on me gives (I had only killed Kournanas between those screenshots).

So Sunspear bounties don't appear to effect heroes, meaning they take longer to clear dp.




These screenshots show how my HP differs between having Strength of the Norn on my or not. Not that Koss' hp doesn't change, so that also doesn't effect him.

Based on this I'm willing to conclude that since the icons don't show on the heroes window then it doesn't have any effect. So I'm not going to go out and try to test the hard mode xp bonus, but if a suitable situation comes along I'll record it.

I'm not sure how to test henchmen though.
