Hi Manikus,

This sounds like a tough one!!! Well, my thoughts on it are that you could have a set number of a certain type of combantants - a sub-creature of the normal creatue like a Kobold, but call it Kobold|good or use the neutral opponent idea as discussed in another topic.

You would need some way to distinguish the creature from the others so you don't end up killing it - that would be the hardest part, maybe an asterisk or a plus sign next to their name or creature type (like +Kobold) - this could be toggled on and off when setting the encounter in the designer.

As for taking away experience points that could be easily done by modifying the events to allow for removing a certain amount of xp's - the only catch here is what happen's if it forces them to go down a level - maybe suffer the effects of a level draining or similar?

As said in the other topic on neutral combatants, this is a good idea but there is already a lot of stuff to be done at the moment.

Cheers

Warlock
