Is there any way to know how strong or wounded your occasional fellow travelers are. I'm fed up with a certain barbarian charging unarmed and unarmored after every creature he can reach and dying in the ensuing fight.
I tried killing the creatures before he reaches them by running into combat (not my usual tactic) but he always manages to position himself between me and the creatures. And that only results in him getting killed even faster because he then recieves my blows too.
When he miraculously survives an encountere it is for me to guess how badly wounded he is to administer some healing.
Is their any way to know how badly he is wounded? Or perhaps to give him some weapons or armor. I'm losing my patience having to reload because the stupid bugger died on me again. And again. And again....
