I checked out at the nearest pub and he is not there. He has gone with a damn good stave and armour. If he does not come back soon it is a flogging offense! You cannot trust guys with pointed heads.

Cleric? Did you mean Cipher?

Hi, Which class provides best opportunity to build both as a healer and to buff up various defences for party members? I am not referring to the set Companions but a new build from square 1. My leader is a Pally but not as a healer. Many thanks

Hi, I finished with the game last night and restarted today. A big surprise! Aloth has gone! All is left is his spare gear and potions etc. in a big pile on the ground! He was there lat night. My party is in Cliaban Rilag Level 1. Has he done a runner if so where to! Oh no!

Hi Boeroer, Presumably when a number is against defences the the higher the more defence? Also if there is a low or no number against Will does it mean the nasty is susceptible to any damage that will effect his brain eg fear etc?

Hi, When I tool tip over a nasty I get a box showing me the Defences and Damage Reductions. Some of the little icons are obvious e.g Flame. Is there any compilation somewhere on this forum or anywhere for that matter that explains what they all mean? Thanks

Many thanks to everybody for your input. Learnt a lot.

Sorry, favourite class!

Hi guys, I have played with all the companions and a couple of hired adventurers to make up those types (eg Monk) that are not a standard companion. I have noticed, and I guess this does not come as a surprise, that I use some characters more than the others. I would be interested in other players answer to the question: if you had to double up on a character type what would that be! I guess what I mean is what is your favourite character. Thanks

I have built barracks already and have completed Bronze Beneath The Lake. I am Hero status with Dozens should I be higher? I have not tried the Ogre yet but as I say I cannot find the Captain of The Dozens to hire him! Many thanks for input.

Hi, I know I can recruit hirelings to help defend my Stronghold. I know I can also hire other game characters such as the Captain of the Dozens. But how do I do this or more to the point where is he!? I have finished the Bronze etc. quest and I have Moderate reputation with the Dozens. Many thanks

Hi, On a number of occasions I have received advice my Stronghold is about to be attacked. I get two options come up on the screen. Auto resolve and Manual resolve. What does this mean/ many thanks

Hi, It seems to me looking at the attributes/skills etc. of the Companions, that some are not specced up as well as they might be. For example Eder seems as though he could have more Con and Might and less Dex and Int. Am I right in this or way off the mark? Are any of the Companions particular weak compared to building the same character from scratch? many thanks

Hi, My characters are all lvl 5 and well on their way to lvl 6. The highest lvl Adventurer I can hire is at lvl4. At the moment I am at the Goose and Fox which is the same as the Black Hound, only lvl 1 and 4. If I hire a lvl 4 will it catch up to my other characters or always be one level behind? Many thanks

OK. Then if you want to get a "better" character equivalent than one of the companions then it is best to start off and hire an adventurer and create him exactly as you want him?

Hi, I have a lvl 5 group and have been able to upgrade many things as I level up but cannot remember ever having to increase to attributes. Are these fixed for companions throughout the game unless added to by equipment etc.? many thanks

Hi there, I am very new to RPG's having been mainly a WoW player. I am also a Fighter/Pally/Barb by past experience rather than Wizards or Priests. Therefore my knowledge of handling spells is rather restrictive. So I would appreciate some guidance. I have Aloth and Durance (lvl 5)in my party and I am coping reasonably well. I have three questions at this point. 1. I am overwhelmed by the number of spells available to me and I spend most of my time trying to understand what they do! For the two companions mentioned above are there any "must use" spells. I appreciate that this will depend on circumstance but there must be half a dozen that are always used in any encounter. 2. Related to the above is there anyway you can "remove" the spell icons i.e remove the ones you hardly, if ever, use, from the bottom left of the screen? I find there is too much clutter. 3. I am struggling with the insect swarm that comes with three ogres in Od Nua lvl 3. Is there any spell that can damage/destroy these nasties? I tried burning them but appeared to damage my team more than them. I have to say it is a great game and I have to ration myself so I do not complete it too quickly!! many thanks

Sorted thanks!

Hi guys, I am a complete newbie to PofE and the last time I played an RPG game was NWN1 !! I need to understand how spells are used in the Grimoire. I have Aloth in my group and at 1st level he has 4 spells. How do I (or he) select which one to use? Many thanks
