i usually wait till like 5th level.. if your using a spelled character like a mage or even wands (if you can use them) area affect spells will harm your henchmen and your self. If your lucky he he.. (not really) they will come and TURN on you and try to kill you... the best way to get around that is to right click on them and tell them to Stand their Ground. I agree with you, the AI is really shitty in this game. Never have a Panther as a Familiar cuz it will Turn on you for just standing there too long. Happened to me.. i changed to a Pixie never bothered me again. If you do want to use and area of affect spell my advice is either make sure your henchmen is NOT in battle at time of use OR go into Game options and change the way you encounter monsters on the "Difficulty" rating. if you turn it to Normal or the lowest setting your can do all sorts of kick ass area damage and it won't hurt your Henchmen. But beware of being a MAgic user, and the Panther Familiar.. the summoned creatures don't attack you.. they are a spell so thats GOOD.
