[Cerek the Barbaric]

I'm just leaving the Underdark for the first time myself, Tyranny.

But I haven't used the AI script in a loooooong time. It would always send some character (usually Jaheira) too close to the monster, or off in the wrong direction.

Besides, I like to control the combat myself. I assign all 6 members a specific target to attack, then let the battle run. When an enemy dies, I PAUSE the game and assign that character(s) to a new enemy.

Also, I currently have Jaheira, Imoen, and Nalia. I rarely use any of them for melee' combat (although Jaheira DOES have a butt-kicking staff from an "outside of the game" source). Since I have to "target" their spells anyway, it was just easier for me to leave the AI off all the time.

BTW, I am the only one I know of that loves playing the Wizard Slayer class. Cerek was patterned after my PnP barbarian who - as per the 1st Edition rules - does NOT like mages. I was disappointed that I couldn't make him a barbarian in Baldur's Gate, but was THRILLED to see the Wizard Slayer class in BGII!!! THAT fits Cerek's personality perfectly. Now, he is 20th level, has something like 65-75% Magic Resistance and has some items from Arundor's Abode that turn him into a veritable mage-slaughtering machine.
