Tactics, Ascension, and parties (spoilers)

[Edar Macilrille]

Or kick Jaheria, kick her!! Let her curse eat her guts slowly, let her wither and die slowly, weeping all the time over her loss of Khalid then you having the balls to kick her instead of being bossed around by her like he was. Let her see her hair fall off, her skin wrinkle and her teeth fall out. You have Aerie for healing, why two?

Then make a Kensai/Mage/Thief, my main character is and at this point of the game he routinely backstabs for 100+ hits and if he HLA crit strike, or just Kai few monsters and bosses survive the initial strike...

Good you enjoyed Tactics, it was revolutionay for its time, but cheesy, these days I prefer SCS II and if you want a really- really hard fight, try on Usht Natha's defences in SCS II. Individually few of them would present a real challenge to you at this point, but together...

Longshot and I have appointed it best fight in the entire series, Vanilla or modded.

And...

Ceterum censeo Jaheira esse delendam

[Rancid Sushi]

In some situations, I would have rather had Cernd for more druid spell slots. As I've said before, the only problem is that Cernd isn't as good at tanking as Jaheira. His werewolf form is strong only against the more common enemies, and the greater werewolf can only be used once per day. He gets Earth Elemental Transformation later, but Jaheira would still be a better fighter by that time. Still, I think I may yet try Cernd in the second run because even in battles where tanking is primary and casting is secondary (Ch. 6 Bodhi) having only two really solid tanks was enough to do the job. I could just keep Jaheira around long enough to get my hands on a Ring of Wizardry. Sometimes I'd also rather just create my own druid because both Jaheira and Cernd have annoying personalities. Jaheira is especially bad because she has something to say about EVERYTHING you do. Get your reputation to 20 and she complains. Balance it out by siding with Bodhi and she complains. Try to balance it with petty crimes and she complains. She truly does not shut up until you nail her at the end of the romance. Guess all she really needed was a good lay.

Longshot has some interesting ideas for Jaheira, I applaud them...

And RPGGuy will love you for endorsing Cernd...
