[QUOTE="Tormyr, post: 7511062, member: 6776887"] Haddin is there to be a jerk. He is the first NPC the heroes have a chance to interact with and show a better way of living (more important ones like Katrina and Shalosha come later). I had Haddin lay it on thick early. He locked the door to his house, splitting the party with some people inside and others outside during the inquisitor attack. He only came out later to dominate the barbarian. When one of the heroes was burning his hands searching the bodies at the entrance to the fire forest, Haddin laughed at him afterward and used [I]mage hand[/I] to finish searching them. Haddin was severely disliked. [gm]Dislike of Haddin: 100% Achievement unlocked[/gm] However the behavior of the heroes, particularly the tiefling cirquelist, caused Haddin to rethink his life. Haddin first fell at the bridge with the fire bats. The cirqueliste, the same hero who had been locked in the house and burned his hands, healed Haddin when he was at 0 hp before running across the bridge and using [I]healing word[/I] to revive a comrade who had fallen off the bridge into the burning brush below. During the first fight with Kazyk, one of the imps grabbed the fighter's battleaxe that he had dropped to switch to his crossbow. The imp flew it into the forest and dropped it in the burning brush before returning to the fight. The cirqueliste ran and used [I]misty step[/I] to get to the axe, grabbed it, and ran and used [I]misty step[/I] again to get back out. Between seeing the cirqueliste's constant heroism and selflessness and his loss of control of Crystin as Foresight's power helped her break free, Haddin rethought things and became less of a jerk. He wasn't perfect by any means. He dominated a ship captain to help them get to Seaquen faster (which failed once he became seasick) and dominated the boat salesmen in Vidor when the heroes were presented with exorbitant prices, and he will suggest Machievellian solutions to the heroes in the future, but he is much less of a jerk than he could have been.
