Spoil me: Does Jaheira ever get any more shapechanging abilities?

krunchyfrogg · 02-17-2004, 09:16 PM

Aside from her 2 bears and a wolf (that she starts with).

These shapechanges serve only one purpose: The two bear forms heal a little bit; useful in a pinch.

I usually ditch Jaheira, but if memory serves me, those are the only shapes she gets unless somebody casts polymorph other on her.

She gets no more; she's multi-classed.

Feral · 02-17-2004, 10:36 PM

Her shapeshifting options have got to be some of the most useless special abilities of any NPC.

How often do you use Nalia's Traps?

Illumina Drathiran'ar · 02-17-2004, 11:15 PM

Druids *do* get more abilities at high levels. You can shapeshift into a Fire elemental or Earth elemental... but you need ToB for that.

And I stand by Six's assessment of useless NPC abilities.

Feral · 02-18-2004, 09:01 PM

LOL. So often that I forgot about them. Same with Minsc's beserking ability - he would always get confused.

You use them through spells, not through a special ability.

No, you are quite correct. Jahiera got the fire elemental shape twice, and is an innate ability, just like normal shapeshifting.
