Aribeth? and her stats are changing? *SPOILER*
So I am playing HotU and I noticed that Aribeth's stats are changing.
STR from 20 to 8, In fact all of them become 8's what is going on?
I think that it has something to do with her being a ghost and or it is just me.
That could be why she dies allot you think? So help me out pleassssss tell me what to do!

Is it a red 8? Or is it the normal 8?

I know that stuff - but not only Aribeth's stats do that...
Actually it's a really annoying bug that concerns any and all henchmen... iirc it's there since the implementation of the better henchie-inventory interface. Whenever you make a map transition, chances are that the engine dearly screws up their stats, lowering them all to a minimum of 8.
You rarely notice unless you regularly look at the henchman charsheet, still... know that it happens with all henchmen, even in the main campaign - and it happens far more often than you'd feel comfortable with. (something every 5th map transition, I'd wager)
What I couldn't 100% ascertain so far is wether or not only the -displayed- values are screwed, i.e. if the henchie is still strong, but the charsheet lies. Yet, since the charsheet is
very closely tied to the actual values in NWN, I'd
bet that the henchman himself is screwed too.
Fortunately there's an easy (if bothersome) remedy for it. Quicksave and quickload, then the stats will be back to normal in 95% of all cases. Still, it's something that constantly annoys me and another one of the reasons why I always play NWN in "lone wolf" style. --_--

Huh, I thought patch 1.62 fixed that bug... Have you got the lastest patch installed? I encountered that a bit myself, but after the patch, no probs.

1.62 speaking here and nope, the bug is still there... 1.64 probably fixes it?

I looked at the rest of her and her HP was the same so it didnt change. the 1.64 patch did fix it most of the time but it happend one time in 1 hour of play. so I think it really dosent mess with her to much. Thanks

One more thing just so you know the stats well change
Fortitude -1
Reflex -1
Will -1
Bass Attack -1
and so on...
So I say get the
1.64 patch or dont use her.
