Despite the fact that he altered Cernds spellbook, what cheating is there involved? Note that you encounter greater werewolves in the game. They are the same as Cernds greater werewolve-form. He fixed some bugs Bioware didn't and made Cernd a great early NPC. He's a better tank than most of your NPC's early on.

Yes I agree here.

And the staff of the Magi & Flail of Ages +5 & CFury are also legitemate weapons. You mean overpowered instead of cheating maybe?

I think they are legitemate weapons becuase they are very hard to come by(assuming Tactics Mod is installed). Except maybe SotM.
