A few questions about Nightfall

1. New Hero skills: How do I know how many I can still take at each time? Should I take a lot of them, or spare them? On the first Isle I took like two, and then I couldnt take anymory.

2. Pets, all my heroes and myself have them, and they seem really great. Do they have more life than humans?

3. I heard that if you choosed the ranger on the first Island, you cant take the elementalist, I would really prefer the Elemetalist though, any possibility to change?

4. The Siege quest (Where there are like 12 Watch towers and traps). I dont know where to go, and I get killed by the Castle Siege...

You'll be able to pick up another ele a little later bit in the game. The one you get on the island is an idiot.

1) At the screen where you pick which profession you want to see the skills for, at the top it tells you how many "Hero Skill Points" you have left. You can only buy that many skills there. You do not get many through the course of the game so USE THEM WISELY.

2) No, their life is equal to what your life would be at that level, not factoring in runes. So at level20 they would have 480 life just like you would at lvl20. This of course is not factoring in "Hearty" or "Dire". If its a "Hearty" pet it does less dmg but has more health, if its "Dire" then it has less health and does more dmg.

3) There are 3 points in the game where this happens. You are given a choice between 2 heros and have to take one of them. So if you picked The Ranger you cannot currently get the Ele (but you do get another ele not far into the story, so thats ok), But DO NOT FEAR - At the end of the game you are given the chance to get ALL Heros that you did not pick in the course of the game - So you don't exactly lose them forever.

4) You don't have to go near that castle (it actually spells your quick death if you do...), you also do NOT have to take out those Guard posts (Thats the Bonus objective, you get more exp at the end of the quest if you do). Your destination is the coast to the Southwest where an NPC named "Magrid the sly" is waiting on you - you merely have to talk to her to finish the mission.
