Yeah, I gotta agree that J is pretty much the bee's knees (as my dear old granny used to say). No other NPC combines such varied skills. Her fire elementals are deadly and last a long time. Druid spells anyone?--steelskins, insect plague, summon woodland being--oh, I'm getting all giddy just thinking about it. Wears any armor (though she should rightly wear an ioun stone instead of a helmet so she doesn't hide her hair). Complaints about weapons limitations are ridiculous: Blackblood is one of the best weapons in the game. Pair it up with the shield you get from the guildmistress for a whoopa$$ combo (and an appropriate reward for completing the druid grove). Switch it out for Staff of the Woodlands +4 in endgame. Let's see, what else? By far the most interesting and rewarding romance plot. Even if you don't romance her the Harper plot is interesting. (Sure, it's buggy, but if you do a little research through the umpteen billion threads on the subject, you can get around the problems.)

I will not have her maligned again!

BTW, I imagine her outside "bedroom" cry is better than her inside one. (Sultry voice)--"Nature's servant...awaits."

Jaheira is a great character, but when she died in my previous game, for good, I didn't reload and it didn't both me all that much. It's personal opinion really, her hair pin is a must have though.

Jaheira is awesome but for some reason she never does a lot of damage when I use her (even when she had the gauntlets of ogre power). Anyway, the thing about Jaheira weapons is that while the blackblood/shield of harmony is a nice combo, I gave her the staff of thunder and lightning. It's a great staff, especialy because of its combat abilities and the fact that you can use it tot call lightning (awesome spell) indoors.

Jaheira has a couple of must-have spells. eg:

- Summon Woodland Being. Creates a nymph who has a heap of useful spells.

- Summon fire elemental. Better than the mage version by far.

- Insect Plague. So good I feel guilty using it.

Plus, with the sling I bought for her, she does 16 damage each hit (and almost always hits) and with the club from the Druid Grove (?)she's deadly. Her AC is at least -7 in Chapter 2.
