Ok, disregarding the first question (as per your request), here goes:
1. (removed)
2. My only suggestion would be to find a standard plate. It would make since if using larger components for armors produced larger armors, but when you are making a static item (a spider) you probably have to use standard.
3. If you mean that the spider is curled up in your inventory, and slowing you down, you have 2 options. 1) There is a patch you can search for on the net that apparently fixes all arachnid problems, or 2) You can do what I did and just grab the guy from inventory, click on the portal (window that goes back to the action window) and throw the spider (preferably away from NPCs). It should then open up and walk around, heal people, etc...
A. In Blackroot, there is a man who makes and sells poisons. He is located near the crossroad of the road that the blacksmith is on, and the road that the governor's mansion is on. You can get poison from him (maybe) by stealing it, or (definitely) you can do the following:
When running the Dernholm king's quest to collect the taxes, the governor of Blackroot will ask you to get back his dagger. Talk to the thieves in Blackroot. (way up in the upper center part of the map, slightly out of the town proper: your global map will flash, but ignore it). If you choose to help the thieves, and then choose the assasination quest, they will ask you to get poison from the poison guy (see above). When you go to him, you might need a point in persuasion, and convince him you have a "rat problem". Then head back to the thieves and either give the poison to him, obtain the dagger, and then steal the poison back, or just kill the thieves, take the dagger, and keep the poison.
Whew!...
B. Dwarven (anything) is simply an adjective of quality, not size. Size is always depicted by Large, Small, or (nothing) Anything else reflects its properties or quality.
C. Never used this guy, I wouldn't know. Perhaps his weapon is too heavy for him to effectively wield a shield too, and a lamp is not so bad?
D. Unfortunately, you can't in battle. Makes a good argument for the PC playing a mage, and picking up melee NPCs. They can't really mess up melee. Although, Virgil with his heal magics seems to do a good job. Although, there is a way to do it out of battle. Take to the character, and say "I'd like you to do something for me" then there should be a magic option. You COULD do this in battle, but it's inconvenient because you have to walk right up to the person you're talking to.
E. I never leveled him high enough. I would think he automatically repairs his own stuff, so just toss your stuff into his inventory, and see if that helps.
F. Never gotten it. If it says "increases HP recovery" or something like that then yes, you do need sleep because that is the only time when you usually recover HP
G. What the heck is Car Arcanum? I've heard this used many times, but I don't understand it. the Arcanum "I" play has a big ol' multiplayer button on the first screen! Can someone explain this to me?
H. I have Raven...but I hear she leaves you at the vortex...darn, she was in love with me too... I guess Magnus counts, since he stays after you find his lost clan. Other than that, I haven't played enough to know.
For future reference, you're less likely to get a response if you bog down your post with so many questions, so try splitting them up next time for better results.
