Interesting thought, Lennoncook, but I doubt any Tears will be won during the Final Battle itself, since [Amelysan] + [the PC] + [possible few remaining Bhaalspwan] = 100% of Bhaal's essence. Or does it? Even so, winning the last 3 Tears from silencing the Pools implies that Amelysan had to spend a significant part of her power (not something she's likely to do) to summon folks like Cryonax, and risk losing that power to you when you use Cryonax to mop the floor.

Putting the final 3 Tears into Ascension would indeed be a nice fix, but in my opinion that contibutes to ToB's glaring linear plot structure. I'd much rather see this as additional background for new MODs that take place in ToB--my "Bhaalpriests" MOD idea might be one, as they could quite logically hold a Tear, and a nice quest for Imoen could have a Tear at the end of it as well--as could a quest for Sarevok. Just random thoughts, of course.
