There is no debate here. Anomen is the best Cleric in the game. He is dual classed and will get to lvl 20 by the end, giving him TWO SEVENTH LEVEL SPELLS. Jehiera will never pass lvl 14 as a druid. Anomen also has MASIIVE hit points and can take a beating, and can go MAX specialization in weapons. Throw the Guantlets of Dex on him and he is a wicked fighter with that 18 strength.
There is no debate over who is better for this installment of BG. But Jehiera gives some intersting dialogue for some people - I wanted to kill her, she annoyed me. As for Anomen's quest, it will give heim 50K xp and 10K to the party, not too shabby. Also, there are no good weapons usable by Jehiera, for Anomen there is a Mace of Disruption, Flail of the Ages, some GREAT slings, etc. and he can wear the +5 Full Plate Mail! Jehiera is good for chap 1, dump her and pick up anomen.
And everyone remember - CALCULATE THE MAX LEVELS FOR MULI-CLASS CHARACTERS!!!! You will find they will NEVER achive high levels with the cap, and you will NEVER get high level spells/abilities. Multi-class absolutely SUCKS in BG2, it was decent in BG1, but here it SUCKS.
Dual-class is the way to go.
