Independent Familiar Actions?

Post by Chastened Phoenix »

Hey... Is there a way for a familiar to actually go on a rampage and slaughter lots of mobs, with minimal caster involvement?

And if not, would saying Coli did that to the Mithro's Rest cave goblins be cheesing?

Or... How about "she tries to do that... But gets captured?"
(Still kills alot of the buggers, though... ;) ))

Huh. Guess familiars don't trigger spawns?

Not that I've noticed. Usually it's pretty clear the Caster has to be involved in some sort of way in order to be fully connected with all actions in game. Whether that's a story/lore thing or a game mechanic thing or both, I don't know. The general common rule of thumb for NWN is if it is not a bug, it is what you see is what you get. ( unless a team member says otherwise of course )

Well, just had Richy walk through invisible and throw a few potions (she took with her). That work?
