for warrior-type characters,tomi is a good henchman. but he is only good in the early stages of the game. he will get clobbered late game. for a long-term buddy, i'd pick grimgnaw. he's just friggin' awesome! and a bit creepy as well. perfect for halloween. lol. well, he's a monk so what do you expect? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> he will walk through most traps and suffer minimal,if at all, damage. reflex save = success. together, you can just bash locked things open. in the later stages of the game, when you face enemy spellcasters, he will laugh off AOE spells. against hard-hitting melee opponents,he will unleash flurry of blows & stunning fist a lot. overall, i think he is the best henchman in nwn, until a certain weapon master came along. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
daelan is also a reliable merc. he's got massive hit points. he's a barb after all. he rages & his power attack is well, powerful.
linu is a decent cleric and she sometimes summons creatures to help you out.
whatever you do, don't take boddyknock & sharwyn. just get their quests and leave them. it's better that you solo than take those two. at any rate, you will have to hire them all at one time or another just to get their quests, which gives massive exp pts.
