I was wondering if I could fire my current henchman, Half-Orc-guy, and take on another henchman to do some of their quets or get there items, and then change back to the Orc ?

Sure, why not? I don't do it because:

1) It seems pointless to take on a henchman just to get their items.
2) I want to take a different henchman each time through. If I tried out all the henchman, it would ruin the replayability (for me at least).

I kind of wish the henchman interaction was more like Planescape: Torment, where for the most part the characters' attributes increased (thus improving just their personal fighting ability) instead of them giving you items (which improve your fighting ability). Then I wouldn't feel like I'm missing out on all the priceless artifacts these guys seem to be giving out...

You can change them as often as you want. Choose which one best fits the need. The half-orc kicks a but sometimes it's nice to have a magic-user sitting back tossing out spells. Just remember where you leave them when you change. I usually try to leave them near the portal.

Btw anyone know where a cleric or druid henchman are located?

the cleric hencmen is located at the Trades of Blades in one of the rooms, and there is no druid henchmen.

U can only have one henchman at a time, or can u get more in the later chapters?

Only one at a time. You can have a familiar/animal companion and summons as well, though.

at most I think you can have 4 members in your party, you + henchmen + familiar/animal companion + summoned creature.

Yes, change henchmen at about 5th-6th level and talk to them 3-4 times in a row. You'll get their story for each chapter.

No need to take them adventuring. Just find out what item they want.

Thanks, Ares, I must have missed him(her?).
