INVULNERABLE

Learn about invulnerable characters and how factions work in Neverwinter. Understand faction relationships to gain advantages.

Invulnerable Characters: Certain characters in Neverwinter are invulnerable, meaning they cannot be hurt by attacks. These are typically powerful characters who play a role in advancing the plot. Attacking them will not cause them to become hostile or sustain damage. The default action when interacting with these characters is to talk.

Factions: Every creature in Neverwinter belongs to a faction. Cities contain various factions like commoners, merchants, and guards, which can be further divided into sub-factions such as prison guards or pirate guards. Each faction has a specific relationship (like or dislike) with every other faction and with your character. Some factions may defend others, while some may attack any other faction on sight.

Faction Interactions: Understanding factions is crucial. If you attack a commoner, town guards may attack you if they witness the assault because they belong to different factions (commoner and defender, respectively), and defenders are obligated to protect commoners. Attacking certain groups can negatively impact your standing with other groups. Consistently attacking innocents can lead to a bad reputation and harassment from town guards. Conversely, you can strategically lure rival factions into conflict with each other, allowing them to weaken each other while you can loot their corpses.

Targeting an Opponent:

• Be aware that attacking certain groups may affect your standing with other groups.
• Luring rival factions to fight each other can be a tactical advantage.
