Hi all,
going through the OC first chapter and really enjoying the game.
One question: is there a way to heal your henchman when he gets some kind of disease?
It happened to me with Tomi against a mummy and uh... a rabid dog (how heroic).
Healing kits should do the trick but I can't find a way of letting Tomi use it even if I give it to him.

BTW, I installed Tony K AI. Many people also talk about CEP, which I understand being a collection of hak packs.
Is it worth installing? What does it do?

I'm afraid there is no other way, you have to heal them yourself by healing kits or "remove disease" scrolls.
By using the Tony K AI you may retard the "upgrade your henchman" (unless you didn't level up in the meantime) saving this choice when they get diseased or poisoned could help.

CEP wont affect modules which havent been created with it already. (Think someone planned to recreate NWN OCs with CEP but afaik they never finished that project)

You can use a potion of antidote/restoration on him, simply drag the potion from your inventory to his portrait. The same can be done for summons/familiars/animal companios. But only potion and also not all potions will work unless you install my unofficial patch. Some spells are badly written and if you use potion of such spell to your companion it will work the same as you would use it on yourself. That however only applies for custom content/crafted potions, those from vanilla NWN are working as expected.

It is also well known that Tomi has a form of ADD, and has to be asked several times to perform tasks. To my knowledge, this may be incurable....

Go see Aribeth, G. She can cure just about anything, assuming you haven't already fixed things the way my friends suggested... :-P

She's really easy (!) and she'll do your henchman for free =)

Excuse me...

Nearly as bad as my OCD :-P

Actually
that would be a wonderful way of using all those healing kits. I
already got Grimgnaw's amulet that guarantees regeneration for my
character and during combat healing potions are best. Healing kits on
the other hand would do nicely out of combat, except that I found no way
to use them on my henchmen or have him use them.

Thanks to ShaDoOw I found out that I can "encourage" Tomi using potions by dropping them from my inventory to his portrait. So far it is the only (not so obvious) way of doing it.

Oh, and I took advantage of Aribeth's courtesy a few times already . She loves rubbing my pointed... ears, apparently. :innocent:

Do you use'em only when not in combat? I run out of healing kits much faster than healing potions instead. While you are drinking potions you cause oportunity attacks (assuming you're playing hard difficulty) from any enemy around you while healing kits are fine except when a "sneak attack capable enemy" is there, so potions get a point here.

Use the kit (either from the radial menu or from the hot keys). This gives you a targeting pointer. Just cliick on henchman.

Being a scaredy-cat, er, sensible person, I have made it through some truly horrendous hoo-rahs hiding behind, er, backing-up a more sharp/pointy/bashey, energetic friend and healing them with kits (Doesn't break the graceful flow of their weapon nor the artistic arcs of blood with nasty attacks of opportunity).

<...and giggling>

Edit: Just to be clear, healing a fighting henchman from behind means he keeps fighting. Handing him a potion, he stops to guzzle newts eyes (AoO) then resumes fighting. Point 2: With high heal skill and good kits, you get a lot (relative to low level) of healing vs. potions.

That's a very useful tip. Thanks!
