Khalid and Jaheira? Are they worth it?

The Real Joel · 09-24-2002, 02:56 AM

I at the moment have Khalid and Jaheira in my party and find them fairly useful. Jaheira's OK fighting and healing skills and Khalid being an OK fighter, but morale breaks....grrrrrr they get ya angry in the heat of a hard battle! I was just wondering what everyone else thinks of them and if you think i should keep them or not. If not who would be the best two replacements?

I have them in my party as well. They are pretty good but VERY annoying [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img] . Wouldn't mind kicking them out but I haven't found any suitable replacements yet [img]graemlins/awcrap.gif[/img] so they'll stay a little longer.

I agree with ya 110% VERY annoying but i have also not found any good replacements yet. Who else do you have in your party?

If youre a good aligned party, i say stick to the story and keep them in your party, they are friends of Gorion for god sake!

Good point The Ozzman.

I have Minsc, Kivan, Dynaheir and myself a mage/thief. It is a pretty good party.

Khalid is, in my opinion, the best melee fighter in the game. Sure, his strength isn't great, but he gets a lot of hit points and has a decent AC if you give him the right equipment. Jaheira is the best druid. Just make sure to give her the bracers of dexterity, and you're all set. She gets a lot of spells, and many hit points. She doesn't make too bad a back-up fighter either... so long as you buy the +3 quarterstaff in Ulgoth's Beard.

Jaheira died in a battle in Highhedge. Khalid didn't really seem all that upset. Can you blame him? Anyhow there's Jaheira lying in a heap on the ground and me wondering how I'm going to get back to the temple to raise her, when along comes Kivan. Reform party, remove Jaheira, add Kivan and I didn't even have to listen to Jaheira's rant! Heh.
So, I kept Khalid and not his now deceased wife.

Imagine my surprise in the first dungeon in BG2? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Somewhere, I am not sure where, but I found Gauntlets of Ogre Power STR-20, Couple that with High Mastery(****) of the Large Sword, Pick your poison there as I have him carrying 4 different kinds so I can switch depending on the enemy that he is facing, and the Helmet of Kiel which I found in Durlag's Tower which keeps him from getting terrified at the sight of a Gibbering and My Kahlid is a walking steamroller. I love him and Keep Jaheria around to hear her crack on Xzar.

Amazing what a good pair of Isotoners will do for Khalid, eh?

I did that too, Mr. B. Great, demented minds think alike.
