Hallo, Who do you think is the best overall mage for SOA? I currently have Aerie and Nalia in my party but am always looking to upgrade. I'm looking for a neutral or good NPC mage to complement my " Butt kicking for goodness party" any suggestions would be appreciated.

The best Mage is always a Mage you make yourself.

Anyway, the most powerful NPC-Mage is by far Edwin. But as he is evil, I assume you won't take him along. After him, the best Mage would be Aerie.

The best Mage in the game is Edwin, by far.
Edwin overshadows every other Mage NPC by so much it's not even funny.

Unfortunately, Edwin's alignment is Lawful Evil - and as such, won't be exactly the ideal choice for your "butt kicking for godness" party.

Nalia and Aerie are a strong combo together. If you're looking for even more magery in your party, go and save Imoen! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Until you do so, Jan is your other choice.

The only downside to edwin, is his amulet ( i know, sounds weird )
It gives you 2 extra spell-slots per lvl .. BUT .. when casting PI, the amulet is re-equipped, meaning that when Edwin casts PI, his PI will have 2 less spells per lvl than the real edwin.

I have never found any logic in which spellslots disappear, its not the lsat two spellsots i believe .. might just be random.
Anywayz, its pretty annoying
Plus the fact that Edwin cant wear the amulet of power, so any self-made PC, would allways out-cast edwin at higher lvls

They're not mages, but Kelsey and Tashia are sorcs of good alignment that can compliment your party nicely. You can find them here

Thanks all I was trying to avoid Edwin however he can't be any more annoying than Aerie's whining. I'll stick with what i have for now.

You should get the Kelsey MOD it is quite well done, and will allow you the experience of having a sorcerer in your party.

You can download it here:

I have tashia and I played the game twice with her. the first time I got to the point where she asks about baalspawn and she ALWAYS left no matter what I say. the second time she didnt, but i gave all the same answers... is this based on char or something ? i don't remember if they were different though. cool mod anyway (when she doesnt leave). PS I think Nalia is heaps better than Aerie if you want a Mage, she levels way faster. Aerie is a good all-rounder though and she does eventually get the higher levels.

It's based on reputation.
