Four ways for Virgil:
1. Get the best armor for vigil to keep him alive. Don't let him use the Dread Armor as it has low DR. Early in the game chainmail (DR=23) works good.
2. Get Morgana's Tears he will use to keep him alive.
3. Add Force 1 to you magic protect to both you and virgil
4. Down load level 127 from
www.sierra.com to beable to add several spell groups included the one that has resurrect for NPC and some Non-NPC. This mod makes it possible to run all skills and many tech build capibility. And set all basic skills to 20. You may still do the blessing quest but if you do not your health and fatigue will be about 270 points if ST, WP, CN are at 20. However the autolevel method did not plan on level 127 but NPC's do as well as before because the mod does not affect any NPC's or the varius creatures.
