I agree with you there. When you reach the higher levels, turning undead is handy, but not necessary. I never had that much of a problem with undead. Other than my first few times through Mr. K.

The druid Insect Plague is one of the very best spells in the entire game, the ultimate spellcasting disruptor!!! Also, she gets Fire Elemental summoning spell rather early, also very useful. Give her the Girdle of Hill Giant STR and good armor and shield and she's also a darned good tank.
Insect Plague alone is worth taking her, but throw in the Elementals..

I think that you can get along with only one "melee god" supported by 2 other solid supporting tanks. Jahiera and Anomen make good supporting tanks. And the fact that they can both cast priest spells makes them all the more valuable.
Were Anomen a pure cleric, like Viconia, I would probably find him far less useful. Indeed, this is why I am not fond of Viconia. She's a weak fighter.
I agree 100% here. Viconia is fun for the dialogue, but other than that, she makes a terrible addition. She's helpful if you need a cleric, but I'd rather have either Jaheira or Anomen.
