Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

It would be useful in RP to allow summons or animal companions to make skill rolls. Back in the day you could use say; *spot in the language bar while having them selected and it would roll their skill but it does not work anymore.

Could something be added to the henchmen bar perhaps that pulls up a list for them to roll from similar to how PCs can?

Yes this would be neat !
I remember doing *wills* *spots* *searches* on my companion before , to make them roll the skill , it was easier than rolling a d20 and adding the skill bonus manually , for rp and events .

+1, give more rp tools to our fellow companions!
Please
