Yeah, good thread, I couldn't fully read everyone's post though because I'm at work, working, so sorry if I state something that's been said before.

I tend to agree with everyone's feelings but I would also like to play devil's advocate for a sec. The decision to make her ultra powerful or adhere to the "rules" is a no win situation for Weimer. If you're powergaming, which one must admit a lot of people who download this mod do, she can be easily beatable by buffing before hand and simply tossing in one weapon of choice.

Before - honestly before, I saw Six's post about beating her I pretty much did the same thing with my Druiserker level 11/13. And I just about beat her without throwing in my spear. My initial thought was to go in with 100 percent magic resistance from the potions and cast an earthquake and get her to fail her save laying there comatose. Unfortunately the bitch is immune to earthquake as well. So I had to melee. With poitons of defense and agility plus defensive harmony your AC can be -6, mine with my berserk became -8. She had a hard time hitting me and at level 13 I had 6 ironskins at my disposal. Defense was not a problem.

Offense, however. I think some of you forgot a couple of low level Druid spells available, Shillehea(I know), and Flame Blade. Both of them hit her for damage just not the FB's fire. The only reason I couldn't beat her into Druid sausage with those is her never ending, insane regeneration rate. Get rid of that and voila. But later I accidentally found out I could toss items into the ring. Enter spear, exit Faldorn's dead carcass. Now she is the one who has no chance whatsoever.

I know I was using a Berserker/Druid. I know I drank every potion I possibly could and had elemental resistance from scrolls. I know I had reload knowledge. But all of these are available at everyone's disposal. The only semi-cheesey tactic is throwing in a weapon, which I don't know if that was possible pre mod. Maybe this was an addition to his mod to level the playing field.

All I'm saying is, he can make these battles as tough as he wants to, from uber kensai/mage to whatever else and powergamers will find a way to beat them. For me it's usually a welcome challenge, for some maybe another mod would be better.
