That's incorrect, I'm afraid.
Leave Yoshimo in the Copper Coronet for instance, close to the door. Upon returning from Spellhold, walk into the place where you left him and IMMEDIATELY pause. Click on the dialogue button to talk to him, and accept him back into the party. He'll die immediately after that, but since he's in your party now, you can resurrect him. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Cheesy, maybe, but I just wanted to point out that there *is* a way to do it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

i found that jan is a good enough thief to replce him if you can gt him early enough on and have time to moul him during the game, although even now at the end of the game his armour class refuses to drop below 0.....(i cant stand him wearing armour and disabling his spells...)
