I agree with most peopl: Haer'Dalis and Cernd have their reasons to be the least favorite NPCs in BG2. Haer'Dalis would be better if he had more HPs; after all, he's a fighter-type bard, and starting out with poor HPs and emphasis in hand-to-hand combat is kind of suicidal. Plus his song doesn't improve with levels, becoming less useful in the long run.
Cernd is even more crappy. I don't see the point in taking him when you can have Jaheira. He can shapechange into a werewolf, which is useful when things get hairy and fighting comes prior to spellcasting, but just in the beginning - even shapechanged, Cernd can't reach a decent AC as any fighter would do, plus later in the game, enemies become more and more powerful, making the werewolf useless - and keep in mind he can't cast spells while shapechanged.
