<font color=pink>My henchman is Shawyn, and we're at the pint in her chp2 convo were she has 2 consider me afriend b4 she says anything else...well ive been running around for 4 friggin days and she still wont talk about it....and im at the end of chp2! How much longer do i have to wait?</font>

for what really? to get another quest from her?
if so you would have to gain another lvl before that happens.

<font color=pink>Well it says i have to achieve a higher lvl of EXP, which ive done like 3 times since then, and she has to consider u a friend. Yes, for the quest i suppose</font>

Sounds like you've caught a bug [img]tongue.gif[/img] She should continue her story and tell you about needing a certain item once you reach 12th or 13th level I think.

<font color=pink>Im like 15th level [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

bummer. hey did you do her quest in the first chap? di you get the belt of the performer+1? if you didnt you wont be able to continue the quest. or if you got rid of the belt it wont continue.

The thing thats really stupid is that the henchmen(and women) seem to give you an item that is best suited for whatever profession THEY are.. and who is going to play a class similar to their henchman? I got a rogues ring from Tomi, and i am a cleric.. silly. they should give up something that they cant use themselves [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I agree totally. That stupid Ring of the Rogue takes up valuable inventory space for nothing. Why do I need something that boosts my open locks and disarm traps? That's what I have Tomi there for!

Actually, the sorceror's ring is pretty awesome any way you slice it :)...but everything else is def. class related.

<font color=pink>no, i didnt do her quest in chp 1...o well, no biggy, i'll live :D </font>

The items that they give you can be useful, but beyond that they are plot items. The major purpose it to determine your interaction between chapters. In chapter 2, you can rejoin with the same henchman, and if you have their item they remember you... if you don't have their item, I don't think they do. I did Sharwyns quest in the first chapter, and got her belt (i'm a paladin, the best class in NWN) so the cha was useful. In chapter two she recognized me, and I got the whole of her story immediately (I was L12 by the end of chapter 1.) I've completed her 2nd quest and got the upgraded belt from her. An extremely useful item as it gives a large cha bonus.

Yeah, the items they give are definitely class oriented, but still useful for more than 1 class. Boddyknock Glinckles ring is 1 of the best, as it has Cha, and regen +1. later it gets upgraded to Cha +3, very handy for Paladins. also, Daelen's amulet is str, and immunity to fear, which paladins get anyway. Tomi's ring is good for rangers, as +3 dex ring in chapter 2 is very nice. Linu's amulet is Dex, and darkvision. also nice for dex characters. Grimgnaws amulet is Con, and eventually immunity to death magic i believe. All of them can become very good items, and it adds some nice flavor to the story =)
