That's what most people say - "I let her tag along, what do I care".
I LIKE her and like to use her abilities because Imoen can be a GREAT NPC with the right equipment and if you manage to fill the XP gap. And if you take her along to ToB it gets even more interesting. There are others I find far more useless (Nalia anyone?) and once you get her to these high levels she is unsurpassed in arcane skill by any other NPC (except for Edwin, but he can't even "Identify" [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) [/QUOTE]well...I did and will take Imone into ToB everytime. I always want to have at least 2 mages in my party, most of the time, Imone is the second mage and the thief (before we get her back, either Jan or Nalia takes that position). My main mage never bother to identify, mostly the lvl 1 slots are filled with my favorite lvl 1 offensive spell. my main mage is the main offensive magic force, and Imone is good as the secondary mage (dispel magic/haste/breach etc...and of course also joins the offensive force). My last run through SoA/ToB, Edwin was the main mage with Imone by the side...she really did well, finishing off Yaga Shura and Draconis.
XP gap doesn't really matter that much, Imone can level up to be effective and helpful regardless of when you take her back.
my current party though has different approach to this XP gap issue, with my PC F/M and Aerie level up very, very slowly, when we get Imone back, there isn't really that much XP gap in the mage department. This time I don't really follow my own main mage + second mage route, it's more like a three mages system, none of them is really ahead of each other. right now, my PC and Aerie are lvl 13 as mage and Imone is at lvl 12, and she will soon over-level the other two mages. This is the first time I play this roster, and so maybe Imone will turn out to be my main mage?
