Maybe it's just me, but Aerie just got 6lvl mage spells and kicks major butt. I did get sick of her whining early on, but after dumping her 2 or 3 times(I dump her to do other NPC quests) and brining her back, she quit whining. As to Yoshimo, Jan Jansen kicks his ass. I dumped Yoshimo as soon as I found Jan. He is 10x the player. He has excellent thieving skkills, makes his own ammo, now has 5lvl mage spells, plus he is hilarious. I find that the overlap of Aerie and Jahiera on druid/cleric spells and the overlap of Jan and Aerie on mage spells is awesome. I can cast 2 spells from either book at the same time. It's like 4 players for the price of 3. I have my Paladin and Minsc up front with various other NPCs filling out that last slot. (Valygar with CF and elven bow right now) I tried Viconia, but as a Paladin, I just can't tolerate her. I haven't tried to evaluate her, Korgan, or Edwin as players. They irritate me from the initial meeting. I honestly don't know what I would do with more fire power, anyway. I am rockin' the world with this group.
