The ability to cast cleric and mage spells is very powerfull. I don't know if Black Isle realized this, but Aerie, properly developed, is very overpowered. The catch is,,(of course, you knew there would be a catch),, is to keep her in the party. DO NOT ROMANCE HER,,, it is extremely difficult to romance her AND keep her happy. And when she gets pissed, she leaves... and you can't get her back until ToB starts.

Here`s the deal: Jaheira is the best tank in the game. The main reason for this is Ironskins. (Other buffs are also included)
But where Keldorn, Korgan or anyone else gets hit, he suffers about 20+ dmg. (Playing on Insane) Few hits later they`re six feet under the ground. Jaheira on the other hand can laugh at her opponent becuase her Ironskins absorb all the dmg not her. So basically can`t be hit. But the real problem is that you need a Cleric if you are to have Jaheira in your party. Level 5 spells are very important. (Insect`s Plague, Chaotic Commands) Jaheira needs those Ironskins for tanking. With another Cleric in your party he/she can buff Jaheira with Chaotic Commands, Champion`s Strenght, Death Ward while she has Ironskins in every slot. (Well maybe not every but more she has the better she can tank) Also he does a great job with Mace of Disruption or Sling.
ADD: Aerie can also tank. On later levels of course but she can take down the Watcher`s Keep boss (TOB) in 1v1 battle. [img]smile.gif[/img]
ADD #2: Hear`Dalis can be your second Tank.
My idal party would be:
PC - Sorcerer (protector, destroyer, minor buffer)
Jaheira - tank numero uno.
Hear`Dalis - tank numero duo.
Keldorn - flank attacker and a Crossbow master.
Aerie - another spellcaster. Backup Mage. (More offensive fireworks)
Anomen - he is party`s number one buffer. Also he is a better Cleric then Viconia.
