Thx. Didn't realise MM and FB could be targeted at non-monster objects. Been playing other RPGs and assumed to much..

In NwN I think MM can, despite it might not be supposed to. (Had a nasty surprise in a multiplayer game cause we wanted (2 level 1 wizards) to blow down a door and were used to doint it with MM from NwN, but didn't work.


Fireball you don't need to target the chest, there you can target an area, so placing it so the blast radius will hit several locked objects is a fast way to open. (of course it requieres to you have fireballs to spare, but with NwNs rest feature, it should rarely be a problem )

@Xandax
The MM trick is really useful. Found Melf's Acid arrow works a charm too (damage accumulates and viola..). I misspoke with regard to FB. I realise that an area (not necessarily a monster) can be targeted. What I didn't know was that the blast would open containers/chests etc in the area. Kind of how it should be (although a certain amount of char damage should be considered). That's the way we used to AD&D it (much to the chagrin of the players - *No!, that flimsy robe of coolness surely is fire resistant....*)

...that is a pretty gross avator you have there BTW

Found out about the fireball by accident when I blew open several doors in the city when fighting mobs.
I don't use Melfs AA because I find them to slow if they don't break it on one of the first ticks.
Mostly MMs or Fireballs when I have them to spare.



@my avatar: thanks

But thats the beauty of Melfs. Fire one at the mage and hes powerless. Every time he tries to cast a spell, he takes damage (they usually try to cast every turn) and normaly it kills him when its done. And on chests, cast it on the first one and destroy the rest. the first is now open.

Melfs AA has serious value, no doubt. But as a chest buster it is to slow for me (unless it is what I have left ). Then I might as well, just stand and use Frost Ray or what it is called

But MM and Fireball are my 2 main opening spells .... oh, and knock on occasions of course

I've not been able to find a solution.

There is a console command called dm_spawncreature, but this command will summon a creature into your party, as any other summoned creature.

So all I was able to do was to summon Zor into my party, but not as a enemy character, sorry.

(Zors tag is m2q1czor in case you wanted to know)

So, sorry, but I can't help you there.

Summon zore as a part of the party, and go somewhere where he gets killed.

Oooh. That's nasty, Ron. I like it.
Will try it and then I see no reason not to kill him myself. I am guessing I will have to lose my current NPC to make room for him?

Erh. How do you do the summon thing exactly? dm-{Zors ID tag}

Just type ##DebugMode 1 in the chat box. Then, type ##dm_spawncreature m2q1czor.

you can't kill him yourself when it is a summon, he will then be friendly and due to the PvP setting of the game, you can't attack him and spells wont hurt him
But maybe Rons way will work, although I'm not sure the game will recognize the kill as plot related when done this way ... but it is woth a try. (give us a tell when you have tried it, would be interesting to know acutally)

The command and tag is as Garret and I, myself, posted a few posts back.

Hmm - came to think of it ..... if all you needed was his ear .... why not spawn that item instead of all that trouble

But good that you could get it done ... personally I've never done that quest for some reason.... must have overlooked it

Smartass... ...that would have been cheating
Where would the fun be in that

Funnily enough at the time I was trying to figure out how to make him get into combat I was thinking there has to be an easier way....
