    Can anyone tell me how to make a good charismatic char? What other skills than Cha and Persuation you need/recomend?

    Is it hard to make all followers happy?(max is 7 not including dog and such or?)

    not really, if you have mastery in persuasion you have an ARMY of follwers who do the dirty work for you. Why else would you want to be a diplomat?

    Followers and XP's

    If all your followers do the fighting for you, do you not take a huge hit in the amount of XP's you get from combats?

    Also as a diplomat, would it not be good to have some sort of range weapon like a gun or bow?

    yes you do lose xp's but that's the trade off for lot's of followers
    also don't use bows they do shit damage

    So If I want to do magick, what kind of magick? Is the haste and such good?
    Can you be a Charismatic Throwing Mage?

    I read in the manual that if you have 20 cha, then followers wont leave u unless u tell them. Is this true?

    If you have max cha and max persu, can you mix evil and good followers or shall you try to have a good or an evil party?

    it can make combat boring but.....
    have the stun spell. stand back and let the hoard destroy them all.
    thats what my little gnome mucluv dose. hes a ladies man, hence the name. maybe i'll level out at the end of the game this way too.

    thieving skills are alway handy.
