Aerie doesnt suck, shes just annoying. In one of my games i concentrated really hard on getting her to survive because she was my romance. So i gave her the chain+5 and crom a good sheild etc. She rocked, i would tank with her on low level enemies just cause it looked so funny. And if i really needed her to fight id just cast tensers. She got hurt, no prob, chain contengency set to heal and whatever else. She has a really odd set of abilities due to the fact that she has all the spells except druid. If you know what youre doing you can really get her to fit well into any situation. Most people seem to just give her a robe and a staff, tell her to cast magic missles and then gripe and say that Imoen/Nalia or Viconia is better. I dare to say no, can viconia tank with stoneskin haste mirror image spell trap...,can Imoen cast sanctuary in the middle of a battle to heal/rebuff themselves or set their chain contingences to heal? Properly used Aerie is oddly effective.
