Hail all, I was wondering about some of the NPCs as far as recruiting them and if they are worh leveling up, etc. I have used Scorpp, Darley, Elmo, Meleny, Ashrem and Taki. I was glad Taki was seemingly lawful because he could use Moradin's hammer when none of my chars could and he never attacked me when he became charmed . . . Elmo has great stats considering he is drunk all the time! Can't beat Scorrp's strength. Darley has many stoneskin spells and can use all martial weapons and is kind of a bad a$$ for a mage. How about Morgan? Wonnilon? Thief chick in Nulb (slave to Mona)? The 2 orcs? Does anyone know what they take as a share since most NPCs never discuss that with you . . .? I am more interested in NPCs that do not leave your party when you leave the temple. As always, thanks in advance :rock:
Sorcerers Place has a section that lists all the npc's and their stats, level, etc. It's printable also. Give it a look.
One of the two orcs is really good it like 20 strength but the other has like 13 dex and 13 strength and 14 con...so i never really know what to do with him
I think elmo only acts drunk most of the time when he is not in a party [part of the Verbobonc spyful watchful eye thing in Hommlet like Otis is for Nulb]. If you watch Elmo when he is in a party, he looks [IMO] like he's, actually, got rythm and soul and is dancing (grooving) all the time and is not drunk. LOL.
I say charm the two female whore prisoners and also the orc with a 20 str. The ones you charm will even help you kill the other orc if you let them get close to it when you attack the remaining orc. Note: Troika and Atari game developers sure do like whores a whole lot, don't they? Smirk. Their addition to the game does add a certain flavor.
