Actually Galadria, serious question: how are you getting around the moralities of it? I know that Imoen and the PC are half-siblings, but it's a topic which some people *might* find morally questionable (not the lesbianism which is touchy enough, but the sibling romance which might make some people uncomfortable. Or am I asking for a spoiler here? 
Memmie, the way that I (and the guy that started it) get around the morality is that, first of all, Imoen is drawn to the character not just through suppressed sexuality-she's scared and confused and having nightmares. She just wants to sleep with her trusted friend, whom she has just realised that she is sisters with. Women do that, you know, to a much greater extent than men do. She gradualy begins to depend on this, to the extent that other members of the party notice. For example, if they are still sleeping together to one certain point, Jahiera says(I just worked this out this weekend):
GG Jahiera: "(character), there is something that we must discuss.
1. "(sigh) What is it this time, Jahiera?">>Go to dialog screen GGb
2 "Jahiera, I really enjoy these little chats that we have, but is this the time, I ask you?>> Go to dialog screen GGc
GGb Jahiera: "I have noticed that, since we rescued her, Imoen has not left your side except to scout ahead, and she still shares your bedroll. Surely, between us all, we could make her up one."
1. "Perhaps you are right, Jahiera. We shall do that, and she can sleep apart from now on.>> go to dialog screen GGd
2. "Jahiera, I don't really see how that is any of your concern. Back off.' >> go to dialog screen GGe
GGc Jahiera: "Later is is, then, oh great leader, but the matter is of some concern to me." (dialog ends)
GGd Imoen: "What do you mean, sleep apart? (character), I just couldn't do that now. I'd have nightmares. I wouldn't sleep, and then I wouldn't be good for anything."
1. "All right, Imoen, you can still sleep with me." >>go to dialog screen GGf
2. "No, Imoen, Jahiera is right. You need to sleep on your own. >> romance terminates.
GGe Jahiera: "It is unnatural for females to sleep together for such a long period. Imoen should be learning to sleep apart. After all, she will not always have you to cuddle with."
1. "Perhaps you are right, Jahiera. Imoen, you must learn to sleep apart from me from now on." >>go to dialog screen GGd
2. "Look, Jahiera, I know that we go way back, but my sleeping arrangements are my own. Keep that Harper nose to yourself, and kindly mind your own business." >> go to dialog screen GGg
3. "Jahiera, as far as I'm concerned, Imoen can stay with me for the rest of her life." >> go to dialog screen GGg
GGf Imoen: "Oh, thank you, (character). You don't know what that means to me." >> end dialog
GGg. Jahiera: "Hmmmph. Well, I guess that I can tell where your tastes lie. >> end dialog
And, it gradually becomes sexual. About the morality. Well, they are half sisters at best, and I don't think that they plan on having any children. Believe me, Lesbian sisters do exist in the real world. I have known them.
