    Okay I tried searching the forums and sites and I can't find the answers. I searched already for a while, but I just got to be a member here. If I by accident repost a question. Dreathfully sorry. Please let me read them and then delete the apparent dumb thread I started.

    1:
    Everywhere I can find that Perception aids when using ranged weapons. However I was wandering if this included bows as these use dexterity as their main skill in order to get better with. I would find it annoying if perception was needed. Cause you can just aswell then become a gunslinger.

    2:
    What are the specifics for the joining of Chukka. Everywhere you can find that this is possible, but it also mentioned everywhere that they don't know the specific requirements. I really want him for two lives that I have. Yes I have like eight (one finished) and one is a gnome, that really needs to have two half-ogres (miracle operation and yes an industrial/inventor life)

    Perception affects your ability to hit anything you aim at with ANY ranged weapon. Yes, that included bows. Dexterity is much more important, but perception is important.

    Getting Chukka to join you depends on a lot of different variables and how you approach the situation with Bates and Appleby. There are two basic requirements that I don't think you can get around - you have to have fairly high Persuasion and you can't be Evil or Chukka will refuse to join you. Other than that, you have to just experiment a bit because there are many different twists to the ways that you can get Chukka to join and the things that you can do after he has joined you. He won't join you until after you have been to the Black Mountain Clan mines, so don't expect to get him right away. Telling you more than that would ruin things for you as it would constitute a major spoiler.

    Sorry I have a third one. I am searching for a character editor, because I didn't want to start all over again. I can find one which is on several sites but you can't download called arcanum_editor.zip and you have arcanumedit18.zip. The latter might work, but I ain't gonna move all my .dll files. That will make your computer slow and a bit crazy (trust me I probram more stuff, I know this. Don't tell me it worked, cause I know it will, but it ain't good). Is there another editor somewhere? Does anyone know a site? Thanks.

    The best character editor available is the one by DKoepp, so if you don't want that one you are probably out of luck. It is also the only one that is even remotely reliable or safe to use from my experience. I have been programming for almost 30 years and have worked with him some and this editor is safe.

    Well against my better mind I tried it and guess what... it goes wrong.. A file has been damaged and on top of it can't find the MSVDV60.dll file (it might differ a bit (MSCDSV60.dll or something) I checked on my comp. I don't have the file. I reckon I just start over again
