BUt I also think Sorcerer's suck. This game bites in one area, and that it panders to the sorcerer class with that stupid "unerase my dumb mistakes at level-up" function.
I could see that you could "unlearn" a spell if an orc put 3' of steel in your noggin and scrambled your brain like a shirred egg. But talk about pandering to the masses. ::bleech:: (Just kidding. ::ducks head:: I prefer a mage because I'm a swiss-army-knife-jack-of-all-trades kind of person. I will play sorcerers multi-classed with Bards, CLerics or Paladins. They're a lot of fun, but I like the Wizard class better for pure spellcaster due to the inherent flexibility.) ((NO I'M NOT. Sorcerers SUCK!!!! AHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA)) (((Okay, okay, I admit it. I'm bored today. Too sleepy to play, too caffinated to sleep.))) BTW, I don't like ANY of the henchman, though Sharwyn has some impressive abilities. Hur hur hur... And Linu is a dork and reminds me of my wife... And Dalen Red-Tiger looks like my little brother... And that nasty halfling reminds me of Brian Jones in 8th grade... And grimjaw reminds me of my Sensei in my old dojo... (Well, they're about the same height and build, my sensei was also a blacksmith/farrior. Weird guy...) But hey, I'm just rambling...

Magik, I don't think bashing chests destroys any loot. I've bashed open chests and found potions, scrolls, books, and other fragile stuff. I've never bashed open a chest and found nothing.
Warhammer, I don't think henchpeople steal xp. I've had characters finish the first chapter at level 9 as well, and they always use henchies, so they're sure not stealing much xp. |

For chests, I let Tomi start to pick it, then I race him by bashing it with my club. I win most of the time.
I've never lost loot that way.

I've had Tomi in my party since I ran into him, and other than the occasional trap he can't disarm, he's been great. I don't like his personality, but hey, if I can put up with Anomen in BG2, I can deal with Tomi in this game. Since I'm playing a cleric, if Tomi can't disarm the trap, I just use Protection from Elements and open the chest. They always seem to do elemental damage, and healing is super cheap for me (I actually sell healing potions under Cure Serious now).
