Aerie is just so useful in combat heavy TOB. I bet she could take on Draconis alone, the way that Korgan can...

But anyone that thinks Aerie isn't a kickass character is wrong. WAY wrong. As is anyone who thinks that she's Dual-Classed when she's actually Multi-Classed. (Note: Nobody in the game is Dualed to Thief.)
Multi, dual , who cares? Aerie still sucks! Being multi class just means instead of doing one thing well she does 2 things significantly less than well.

I just finished an aerie romance game, and she's decent. toke her a little to long to get lev 9 spells though(making imoen much better at blasting away rooms, time stop, lower restinance, dragon breath, time stop, adhw, adhw watch a roomfull of baddies die) but her healing made up for it in spades, plus i gave her the crom faeyr giving 25 strength and she carried all the heavy stuff

also if you take her through tob she becomes a lot less naive and whiny(lets see how you'd act after being taken from your people, enslaved, tortured and having 2 limbs cut off) in fact she yells at you at one point(viccy is my favorite romance so far though

She yells at you? That's more like it! If i chuck sweet innocent Aerie into my morally indecent and thoroughly evil posse, will she still chuck a spak? Or will she just whine?

Aerie, That useless, wingless, whineball!? you have got to be kidding, romance is the last thing that comes to mind. There are so many times that I wanted to have her killed. Ending the romance was the only way to get her to shut up, for a while. Now she mainly says that snobby phrase about things being beneath her and, my favorite, "I feel so cold" just before she dies.
Apart from being a back of the party conjurer, she serves no purpose. I regret not having grabbed that mage at the bar in SoA.

Contary to popular belief, a multiclassed Cleric/Mage is not worse off because of the lower levels in either class. Assuming it is 75% efficiency on either side, that is a total of 150% efficiency.

A Cleric/Mage is truly a power to behold, and can easily kick any Mage or Cleric in a fair fight; because you see... you can combine the cheese potential of both classes and mix them around to make new cheese.

Time Stop + Harm is a classic cheese from the Cleric/Mage, and if you think spamming spells as a Mage under Improved Alacrity is impressive, wait till you witness what a Cleric/Mage who has double the payload can do.

Just my $0.02 worth on the powergaming aspect of Aerie.
