I am currently playing without one, but need one badly as everyone knows who plays this game. Where/how do I get one into the party. My party is currently full, but dropping a member is not a problem.

Thanks for any help,

No matter where you go, there you are.

Ok, their are two mages in my opinion worth considering.
SPOILER
One is Xan.He is found in the Nashkel Mines (Chapter 3).He is not bad,but I prefer Edwin.He is found at the bottom of Nashkel,nr the bridge.

Well, there are 4 mages that you can get early in the game, this is what i think of them:

-Xan: found in Nashkell mines, i dont like his low hit points (and to be sincere i dont like his deppresive mood http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif)
-Xzar: low hit points, he´s evil... i dont like him
-Dynaheir: i usually use her, i think she´s pretty good, and with decent hit points.
-Edwin: he ROCKS, very good mage, his amulet gives him extra spells (2 per level i think)... BUT he´s evil. Anyway having him in a good party wont be bad if your rep doesnt go above 18... and if you dont have minsc http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Later you can find another mage, QUAYLE (sorry for the mistake http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif), a cleric/illusionist... ive never tried him, but the bad point is that you wont be able to get him till chapter 5.

The best mage is the one you create yourself!
the other amges are not so good.
if you create one yourself,you will get the best mage

So says the Lord of Terror,and so it is written.

Sorry i had a mistake, he´s called Quayle. He´s in the bridge to Baldur´s Gate city.

Tiax is a multiclass thief (cant remember exactly, i think he´s fighter thief, dunno), and yeah, he´s outside the Flaming Fist, trying to recruit you to conquer the world http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...s/biglaugh.gif.

A mage that seems to have gone unnoticed by everyone so far is Imoen. I know she is a thief but look at her stats. 17 intelligence for a thief ? If you dual class her to a mage at her thief level 5. She can become a 6 level mage before reaching the cap of BG.

<font color="cyan">That's a great tip, I didnt think of this.One day I will replay the game and do this!
