question for the faithful:

Using an archer PC with Minsc, Anomen, Nalia, Jaheira and Aerie. Thinking about dumping Aerie for Haer Dalis. I think I've read posts regarding bards being able to cast some magic. How limited are they?
I recall that they can only get up to a certain level in spells, but long-term I plan on keeping both Nalia and Imoen if that's the case.

Aerie has a lot of spells at her disposal but I find I only use a few of them... Jaheira is much more valuable to me at present as a 3rd tank, since my main character is exclusively a ranged fighter. I figure if Haer Dalis can cast a few mage spells, and Jahiera can cast a few cleric/druid spells, do I really need Aerie (who has proved to be a liability).

Granted, Minsc has taken Aerie for his witch, but I plan on dumping him for Keldorn anyway.... so the party would then be my Archer, Keldorn, Anomen, Nalia, Jaheira and Haer Dalis (who I'd then dump for Imoen).

Any thoughts?
