Animal companions

I am unable to give my companion any potions! I end up drinking them myself.

How is that a bug? You can't make anyone else drink a potion.

You can lead your stone lizard to potions, but you can't make it chug.

DM's have said this is allowed. I have been able to do this before.

It SHOULD be possible, by NWN coding. Summons, dominated creatures and companions/familiars can be given potions by dragging one (or a stack. Will drink a single) from your inventory to the NPC in question.

Definitely a bug.

Well, you can toggle it so you can get access to your henchmen's inventories certainly. This also means you can put Boots of Hardiness on your badger companion when it is activated. I'm not certain that without major scripting you can avoid that.

Oro, I believe you can Hand your animal companions potions by dropping the potions on top of said companion. This is not an inventory listing that you get to draw up and equip it with.. <_< Then again, I've never done it before. So I'll shutup now.

You hand it to them. And I end up drinking it.

You are probably doing it wrong.

Relinquish You are probably doing it wrong.

I don't know, Thomas has said he'd done it successfully before, and I know I have in single player campaigns and modules. Strange.

I've done it, a lot, here in EFU. 'Drop' a potion on top of said creature and he'll drink it as by NWN default.

If it doesn't work in EFU (anymore), its due to some server sided error.

Hmm, I seem to have an issue with this when I tried giving a potion to a PC.

I picked up the potion and dropped/clicked it on the PC and I ended up drinking it instead. And as the poor weakened fellow saw me drink the last of the restoration potions, I smiled as it was quite appropriate being a SM cleric. :twisted:

So I started thinking that I had to open up the barter first then hand over potions. ...
