Actually utilizing the strategy in the battle staging section allows the same protection as other casters + gives +2 AC automatically (and has decent clothing to start to increase AC). Furthermore the "cheese" tactic of stealth in a Faeri makes more rpg sense (if stealth is desired).

Additionally Bishops are the strongest spell casters.

The only real downside is latter in the game when you have lots of stuff to carry AND that they can't wear additional armor that say an elf could.

Despite this they have the attributes in the "right" areas - allowing a more effective spell caster earlier on.

ALL of the above means that the FAERIE is still the best - at least until half-way through the game.

As for recruitment of NPC's, sure they suck some XP points - but not a lot depending on party size. If you have a party of 6 +2 NPC's they lower XP's surprisingly little for the rest of the party. Frankly unless you have a party of 3 or less it isn't worth worrying about, (and our minimum beginner party size is 4 so its moot).

Yup, I will put in the one about attacking first after walking.. (though you already have!)
