What does the guard button do and how does it work, I've tried using it several times and nothing happened?

    I think if you click the button then select another party member, that character will defend the target. I never use it, honestly.

    I guess if you wanted to manage only the casters in your party, this might be useful. I'd just say it's there for players who don't want the 'hassle' of having to click every time an enemy dies. Of course, there are scripts for that, but, you know...

    Quite a few days later, but you can also command a character to guard a "spot" and they'll attack anything that invades that space.

    Hm, this could be rather useful for a tank…

    The guard button should be selectable by all party-members, but it is not working properly. It has been reported in the beta forum :smile:

    i use this alot for my tanks. stops them charging off into a load of oncoming mobs and helps me to pull in a smoother fashion.

    Can the mechanics for Guard be adjusted? For IceWind dal2EE there is a number of feats a class abilities which relies on the character being on guard. And I find it a little too passive.
    It would be great if the radius they search for enemies could be made larger as example.
