    he never invented anything for me at all during the entire game. Am I just missing a feature here or is he not supposed to make anything?

    [​IMG] I'll bet ol' Jan get on well with Cespanar, both are rather odd people/creatures with a love of strange quotes and even stranger inventions/recipies. :grin:

    It says somewhere (either in the original BG2 FAQ from BI or in the manual, or both) that Jan would invent more things during the course of the adventure. Obviously they ran out of time or decided it was not such a good idea, as I'm almost totally certain he never creates anything beyond his 5 Jan Jansen's Flasher Master Bruiser Mates(tm) per day. Which weight 1 pound each. Jan has a strength of 9. You won't be carrying a stack of these around with you, unless you want to use one of your strength items on him.

    I don't think I used any of his "special equipment" by the time we got to TOB. I was disappointed that he never invented new stuf in SOA. New types of traps or new types of bolts or upgrades to his "special equipment" would have been nice. But I imagine that the upgrades would not be able to keep up with found items. Still the ability to create reasonably powerful one use items would have been nice without upsetting game balance.
