In Neverwinter Nights players can use quickchat to quickly communicate with other players and their associates (henchmen, familiars, and animal companions).
Quickchat options followed with an asterisk {*} are commands that associates will respond to. Players can active quickchat by pressing the quickchat key to activate the system and then the two or three key code to play the quickchat line.
