My favourite is probably Jaheira. Best all-round NPC in the game, in my opinion. She's got the AC to be a great tank, the dexterity to be good at ranged and some of the most useful spells in the game. Give her the hill giant girdle and the impaler and she's a frontliner as well as a tank/disabler.
Azuth, the whole purpose of insect plague is to stop mages. It's not meant to cause devastating damage. As for healing, she's a druid, not a cleric. Then there's that whole 'Jaheira complains, Jaheira whinges' thing again, which is garbage. Aerie's the one that complains most. What's Desyxic mean? Dyslexic? Don't flame me, I'm being serious.
Edwin's a great character. Best mage in the game, and that includes PC mages, since he gets those funky Thayvian powers. But you can't give him the amulet of power, Rik. Like most specialists, he's best used as a team player, since mages don't get very far alone without true sight.
