I had no idea about this. Will Mage/Sorcerer pawns do this with each other? I always had two borrowed magic pawns, to go with my Ranger character and Warrior main pawn.

Another pawn story: took my friend's level 30 sorc pawn just after I unlocked the rift, then went to the well dungeon in the fishing village. Just as I was figuring out how to fight the lizard men all hell broke loose and poo poo just started exploding all over the cave, that pawn killed every one of them with fire spells before I even got the chance to take down a single one. Then I learned about the penalty to xp for using higher level pawns :sigh:
I love the well cave.

This was the bandit fort for me but I failed so many times early on I got scared and by the time i felt strong enough to tackle it I was an OP wizard and rained hellfire from above and wiped out the whole camp in seconds. Which is also was cool for a totally different reason
Bandits are a ton easier for a Strider early on than either of the other classes. I never had a lot of trouble with them, then briefly played a melee character and got wrecked by the sword guys with the insane damage.

I never used that because I felt like it wouldn’t make up for lacking three other party members. Also because I love my pawns and would be lonely without them.
It's useful for killing the giant optional superboss with a high-strength Assassin and a pair of holy daggers.

When fighting big monsters I feel like I'm doing 90% of the work but most of the time the pawns are cool to have around and I will always have at least one on hand for magic buffs.

Rangers just sound kind of boring, I guess, even if they aren't in practice. They sound like Striders without the climbing/stabbing or Magick Archers without the, uh, magick.

Great Gambit sounds cool as h*ck though.
I liked it a lot the first time I played through part of the game, but I'm having more fun with Assassin. Rangers completely destroy large monsters, especially with a mage enchanting your arrows, but all they do well is bows, and you spend a lot of time recovering your stamina.

I love how completely unexplained the Ur-Dragon is. You go through this door in the Everfall and all of a sudden you’re in a hosed up metal album cover landscape with meteors raining down on destroyed cities and this massive zombie dragon covered in Arisen’s hearts flies down from a void that’s consuming space, and your pawns are just like “hey Arisen that’s the ur-dragon lol”
It's the largest dragon.
