a Familiar Problem

No, I hope I'm not gravedigging.

I am playing unpatched (no, wait, don't throw that at me!) and my familiar just keeps on racking up those CPs, and does nothing with them. Any cure for this, apart from patching? Can you use the CPs to create a familiar the way you want it?

 

Actually, I think patching won't help. Chris Beddoes's Hard Arcanum will, but just about nothing else. There might be another hack out there, too, but nothing can be done within the game as it stands. Or so I believe. I'd love to be wrong, here, but I don't think i am.

 

fyi, gravedigging is when you post in a dead thread, one thats at had at least three weeks since it was last posted in. but if this subject has been posted in a previous thread then you're just beating a dead horse.

i dont know if thats the case or not here but a good policy is to just use the search function before asking any questions.

 

Well, no summoned follower has an autolevel scheme. So if you trap a Vorpal Bunny, when it levels up it will have a free cp too. This also applies to Mech Arachnids and Automons. They do gain +2 hp and +2 fp from leveling however.

 

"hard Arcanum"?

-New to forum... and Arcanum because I bought it years ago, didn't like much do to hardware problems (now fixed), trying it again

 

You can find links to Hard Arcanum in the mod reviews section of the forum. It completely changes the game, so you might want to play it through first before installing the mod. Basically, it makes everything harder, except for tech things, which it seems to make a little easier. More items, more areas, a few minor plot and npc changes. I believe it will also allow you to modify the leveling schemes of your followers.
