Gameplay mechanics are also being upgraded. More conversation options are being added for summoned creatures and familiars, and henchmen will correctly go into stealth mode with you and use spells more intelligently. There’s also a new familiar with many eyes, and some NPCs will be returning to aid your quest. The barbarian Daelan Red-Tiger, cleric Linu Laner’al, rogue Tomi Gallows, bard Sharwyn, and bard Deekin Scalesinger will all be returning from the previous campaigns, though they won’t necessarily all be available as henchmen throughout all of HotU. Two new weapon types, the dwarven war-axe and the whip, are also being included.
