    [​IMG] My party is in the citadel in the underdark having fought a couple of the MindFlayers, and one of my character is now no longer under my control. I checked to see if he was under some type of mind affecting spell, but according to his profile(I can't click on his icon, but can look at his profile/stats/etc by going into another characters profile, then I am able to click on him) he isn't under any type of spell that would make him unusable... I have tried resting, restarting the game, and even charming him, but nothin seems to allow me to take back control.... does anyone have any ideas how I can get around this?
    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    Edit: Have you tried using DaleKeeper II to see what effects are still on him? Have you tried casting Exaltation or Dispel Magic on him?

    Look for his inteligence. Once in BG2 Jaheira got hit by a prismatic spray spell and became feebleminded, her INT becoming 3. She was also completely uncontrolable. Best was I could not dispell the effect.

    Exaltation is supposed to take care of the Feeblemind effect.

    I did try dispel magic, as well as Charm spell. I don't know what his Intelligence is(I am at work) but will definitely look at that one.
    Would DaleKeeper 2 show me any affetcs that the game wouldn't show me in the Character Skills/Stats screens?

    If all else fails you might be able to Ctrl-Y Ctrl-R him.

    Thanks everyone for your help. I tried all of your suggestions with very little luck... I was able to regain control via Dalekeeper II, but something was still not "right", so I wound up reverting back to an older saved game.
    Thanks again.

    I've never had this sort of problem in IWD2 but I had a similar problem in BG2 whereby Valygar wouldn't follow the rest of the party. He'd walk for a bit then stop and every ten feet I'd have to click on him to get him to move further.

    In the end, I whacked him and resurrected him - problem solved!

    Ever tried a restoration or greater restoration on him? That might work!
