    I know, figured it had a better chance of not being buried if I posted it in both places. Thanks for the answers.

    A ready made pyro bow... Oh the possibilities... :evil:

    Well, I have scaled up encounters with orc raiders and the Hand, I think i mentioned the hand. Basically when I kill the Hand guys, about 10 Kites and 10-15 Liches appear. When I kill the Orcs 10-15 Yetis appear, which isn't that pleasant. But as I've stated the treasure is jacked up, I can get a bunch of crap off the Hand, and the Orcs give me about 20 assorted grenades. Not explosive or Moltovs, mostly hallucinations, paralysis, knock outs, Concussions, and Mustard Gas, but there might be one or two others. When I have Sebastian I just give them all to him.

    They're all rubbish, except Concussion. Sell any gas based grenades, they're no good because your followers always get into the blast area. Molotov is best for direct damage, I always carry 20-30 of them just in case. Stun is most combat effective, because one grenade can stun a whole group of enemies. Electrocution grenades can also be great, they don't throw your opponent away, so even if you don't have throwing skill, you can keep tossing them from close range until the enemy is out cold.

    Blinky, Payne is good with a gun, but Sebastian is the better fighter. Then again, Payne is voiced.

    You can lift the Strong Posion off a human in the bar in Dernholm.

    The Pyro Bow appears late in the game in a most unlikely place. The only difference ST makes is that some magical bows call for MSR 12.

    If you are 20% evil or more, try Tollo Underhill who is underdernholm in fact. Look at Z'an, Permian Smythe, and Weldo Rubin. Think about the late game followers in the Void. Oh wait, No Raven if you have Z'an. I really don't know who else is on your available roster. Low persuasion leaves Waromon out. Have you checked Torian Kel out?

    Solarius, yeah we had the team movies too. Mostly made during the war & featuring a B-17, B-25, infantry platoon, or PT boat. Featuring the Jewish kid from Brooklyn, the Italian kid from the Bronx, the southern kid (almost always a gunner, & usualy pretty good), the black kid (even though our military was about 95% segerated at the time), & the seasoned, stern but secretly soft, commander. And Sarge. How could I forget Sarge. Or the Chief, in navy settings. They stressed teamwork, a reasonable thing for wartime propaganda movies.

    favourite character?

    Captain Elektrik: Human Fireams master, Electrical doctorate, Melee expert.
    Electro-armour, chapeau of magnetic inversion, tesla gun, droch's warbringer, disruptor shield, all the electrical bells and whistles.. I have to say I love that discipline more than any other.

    OR....

    Mr Fisto: 1/2 Ogre. IQ 1. Never raised it the whole game. Master Melee, and went through enemies like shit through a sick dog. Actually, he was kinda fun, but I'm not entirely sure I want to play the game again with 'dumb' options, not only for conversations, but also for the journal. Half the time I'm not even sure what he wrote!
