In my new party I have:
Me (kensai)
Minsc
Yoshimo
Viconia
Edwin
Cernd

Should I get rid of cernd for someone else? I already have a cleric (viconia). If I do, who should I get?

Cernd isnt a cleric, he's a (shapeshifter) druid ... they have slightly different spells, including a great one, called insect plague ( no more mages, bothering you with spells)
If you do replace cernd, maybe replace her with Aerie, she's both mage and cleric .. so

Another mage, since mages usually tend to be quite nice, and a nice substitute for cernd's healing skills. Though Viconia has those too offcourse.
Note that Minsc and Edwin will NOT go together, they end up fighting.
Taking Keldorn isnt really an option too, since he sometimes fights with Viconia, never happened in my game, very nearly did .. but it does happen sometimes.

Just a reminder Minsc and Edwin will not get along very much.
In my game they cane to blows.
Now as for Cernd....hmm....there is not much about this guy.He is a druid and so he has access to many good spells for example insect swarm and creeping doom.He can also summon fire elementals that are extremely usefull at the start of the game.
He is not SO bad but I would trade him for Jaheira who is a better fighter than Cernd and a druid as well.

EDIT:Since I am a slow typer my post comes second and looks like it is repeating things!Aargh!

Er, Helspanth?
I killed Jaheira. She was too annoying, and was getting in the way on my romance with Viconia. In SoA, she can't even cast 7th level spells!
Anyway, what I meant was that I already had a cleric so I don't need a druid. I don't really like aerie either, she fights with Viconia.

Korgan is good. hes one of the best fighters in the game IMO.. the only problem is he is chaotic evil [img]graemlins/chaos.gif[/img]

A druid is different from a cleric.His spells are much more combat orienteted.
You needn't kill Jaheira as she doesn't interfere with the romance.Sure there is some catfights between the ladies but you can easily have all of them in your party.same thing goes for Aerie.Viconia insults that pathetic elf SO deliciously! [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img]
