(re-noob question) Familiar control?

pj4533

I am re-playing NWN after years away, so forgive me if this is well known!

Is there a way to tell a familiar to not attempt to bash a locked chest/door? I can tell my henchmen to ignore that situation, but the familiar doesn't seem have this option? It is annoying to have to tell it to follow (or something else) to get it to stop bashing while I cast Knock!

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, I think you'll have to get used to checking if its locked through Right Clicking the object before you try and open it if you're going to use knock. I, personally, just let the familiar bash it open though, considering that most of them have On Hit damage that the chest won't block, like the Bat's sonic damage or the Fire Mephit's fire. Don't think you lose anything in NWN for breaking them open rather than breaking the lock.

Hmmm... I mostly use a Pixie and they pick rather then bash. I thought there was a convo branch that did allow you to tell them not to help open chest? I know it's annoying, but you can tell them to "HOLD" in place.. I think it's VWX that does that.
