    The guy scripting follower AI at Troika should have been shot.

    I know that people complained about Geoffrey casting idiotically aimed Fireflashes that injured the entire party in the press release. Could be that incident had Troika decide that sorcerers just weren't meant to use any of their offensive magic. Apart from the occasional Squall of Ice from Raven, I don't think I've ever seen a follower mage attempt to hurt the enemies with magic.

    Tragic, really.

    Equip them with shitloads of scrolls and potions, they're more likely to use them than their own magicks.

    I was wondering which technological discipline goes well with gunsmithy and explosives. I also can make salvas & charged rings.

    On a side note, what happens when you recruit new followers while CHA is temporarily increased? Does the follower stay in party when the effect wears off?

    As far as I can tell, they stay, but if you tell them to wait somewhere you won't be able to get them back into your party until Charisma is high enough.

    As for the discipline, Electrical would be necessary if you want to create a Tesla Gun, and with Chemistry you could put people to sleep and stab them to death when a gun would be too loud. Unless using a tech item is as loud as casting a spell, in which case the Anaesthisizer still puts people to sleep, and can be used to build a Tranquilizer Gun. Doesn't affect mechanical or undead opponents, but there's no damage resistance to fatigue damage, so no one else will have any protection against such a gun.
