Here was Weimer's justification, written in the README:

This component tries to make Bodhi a worthy opponent. Vampires are
supposed to be scary. In BG2 they're only good for a laugh. Protection
from Undead scrolls, Sunray (Daystar) and False Dawn make short work of
them. A solo character with a Pro-Undead scroll can take out all of the
Vampire covens in the game. Sigh. Bodhi is worth 91K XP -- more than
almost anything else in the game. And yet she is a mere brute-force melee
fighter who doesn't even drink healing potions.
...
...the difficulty slider will
effect the fight (the EASY and NORMAL levels negate some of her powers,
etc.).

For anyone wondering, that paragraph says you can turn down the difficulty slider, if you want to. I think that is a generous feature, that allows you to tailor the fight to what you think is more fair.
