Articulate Vlish Dunbar42 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I saw in mentioned in another thread that Sleater (mage in the honeycomb who blesses you so you can kill undead) drops a robe of the magi. Now I generally don't kill NPCs, but that robe rocks. And he already helped me kill undead, and I did his second quest to explore Athron's lair. Since as far as I know you don't need him for anything else...well, I thought I could put his robes to better use. So I'm curious...do any other NPCs have powerful items on them? Preferable ones you can kill without angering a whole town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Radix Malorum Est Cupiditas Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 If you attack a person where nobody else can see, the town doesn't get mad at you. Grindstone is the earliest place you can get this, but anyplace with these NPCs will have this. The archer guards drop yew bows and steel shields and the warrior guards will drop iron breastplates and iron broadswords. EDIT: Not will, can. These are their best drops.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Why shoot innocent NPC's? The useful treasure doesn't significantly affect game play and the experience is slight. You can get better equipment earlier on, but it will just encourage Jeff to make them harder to kill in future games. You'll start seeing him make certain ones unkillable after that fiasco with killing the Portal Mage in Fort Avernum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Well, unkillable friendly npc's might not be much of a suprise since he's already done unkillable enemy npcs. set_char_unkillable(ME,1); appears in 19 different creature scripts for A4.

Nope, that works for theft, but if a NPC can see the person you attack they'll turn hostile.

Here you can get 4 before reaching Fort Draco. And yew longbows make a huge difference. And as for the unkillable deal, he'll only do that for people important for quests. -------------------- As for good loot, there's a blind blacksmith who does custom work outside the tower colony who drops a blessed breastplate and blessed broadsword. But if you kill him you'll have to fight your way through a bunch of lancing fungi to get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug Bestrafer_fin Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 In the start, there is this guard on the... Slimy coast? Halfway to Grindstone from Fort Monastery. That guard has got a steel spear and it is actually even mentioned when you talk to the guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chittering Clawbug Bestrafer_fin Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Are you sure they are longbows, not just normal bows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
