Freaker - I NEVER kill friendly creatures. It's just my game style - he is not hostile, and I like dragons very much. Besides this: the Patriarch is dedicated to a German gamer - as a lot of names in DD were.
I don't care for level ups. And as I was clever - he taught me a skill and even gave me a good axe (one I didn't need as a mage). Each to his/her own playing style <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> - I recall, I was astonished the Patriarch could be killed - as he could not be attacked in earlier German versions. This was different in the English version from the start, as I learnt later on. the last patch egalised it for both language versions - so, the Germans could kill him, too.
No, you will NOT die - even as a warrior you can survive the Wastelands with a good frost sword. Don't worry, Freaker <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" />
