Title: Mosquitoes.
Post by: Hellblazer on July 14, 2011, 03:14:19 AM: Would there be a way to change the mosquitoes so they are actually hittable by a player that is not already into attack mode?

My pally just got killed by a mosquito spawn as I wasn't able to click on it to defend myself (being stuck beside the moors witch, the mosquitoes and the area architecture couldn't move away either until it was too late no DT thankfully). Kinda funny.. but at the same time.. quite sad.

Try bringing an arcane spellcaster along.

You know? :p Must be frigging big mosquitoes.. which means should be hittable with a sword!

Alchemist's Fire rarely lasts long enough, however, I've found a common torch works well.

That's a good idea for PnP, but sadly, torches don't do much in NWN.

Really? Huh... Maybe it was on another server that I killed swarms with a lit torch then. I also recall a server I played on where you had to use a torch on trolls once they were down, or a few second later they'd regenerate and get right back up again.
