    [​IMG] How in the heck do you feed a familiar? Do you wait until it gets injured or what?

    Um... you can't feed them anymore than you can feed your party members.

    Isn't there an option to feed it when you talk to it? Or was that in NWN mayhaps?

    There is a way to feed your familiar, but it can't be discussed in this forum.

    I only summoned it for the extra hitpoints, but it's bugging me now. It says in the manual to heal your familiar by feeding it - so why does this ferret of mine want food right off the bat? Is he just greedy? Or is it something not implemented in the game engine that got forgotten?

    It's in TOB. Hope you get that before the thread self-destructs.

    LOL, I don't think I've ever taken my familiars out of my pack! I never knew they needed to be fed. I guess he was munching on the rations in my pack.

    They don't actually need feeding; I am pretty sure you can feed/shout at your familiar for the entire game (or not at all) and nothing will happen.

    :lol: Maybe that's why the drinks at Five Flagons are flooring my cleric/mage, even after a hearty, halfling-cooked meal. :yum:

    BTW, if somebody could PM me those ToB spoilers, I'd really appreciate it. Sounds interesting!
