I've been doing some of the optional quests before starting Chap. 4 and have a question. I'm planning to do the Umar Hills quest right now, just for the hell of it. Right now, I have me (mage), Minsc, Anomen, Jaheira, Jan, and Aerie. I've beefed them up with armor and all that stuff, but if I were to go with Mazzy, whom would I get rid of? I'll admit that I kinda like Aerie, despite her whining. Jaheira bothers me more, but she's a good fighter. Does Mazzy have good spells?

Mazzy is a fighter, she has no spells. She has some special abilities, though (haste, strength...).

Probably Minsc, or Jaheira. If you weren't missing a thief, I'd say Jan. Minsc is the one closest to her role, and Jaheira is kind of divine spellcasting overkill. You have a lot of magic power in there, you may want to get another tank. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'd dump Aerie for Mazzy. Aerie is a Mage/Cleric, and you already have two other Wizards and two other Priests. Aerie is quite unnecessary, and your party would benefit alot better from Mazzy.

I'd say get rid of Minsc and replace him with Mazzy. Your party doesn't have spell casting or divine casting overkill written on them considering they're all nearly multi-classed, so most of them are considered good tanks and spellcasters.

I agree with Sir Exxon. You have your basic divine spells/healing with jaheira and Anny, and you and Jan are already Mages. Definately drop aerie. Maybe you could get her number if you really like her...

look at your current party (and you're ready for ch. 4), I think you might just drop Minsc and take Mazzy = it seems that you get along pretty well with just one "pure" tank. Mazzy is similar to Minsc (IMO, better) and if you like the way your current party is going, I think you can let Minsc go.

Why does people mislike Aerie ? She is quite good mage/cleric...and I have had her in my squad quite many times through the game, thou I do hate all the whining.

I personally don't like Aerie, because she whines too much, and she's the Bioware-created romance that needs the most therapy. She's had a traumatic life, but hey, look at the PC! [img]tongue.gif[/img] It's hard to look at NPCs without taking their personalities into account. Do you drop so-and-so because you don't need their abilities, or because if you hear that smug and self-righteous "this party has 20 reputation and I'm amazed about it" comment ONE MORE TIME, you're going to jam that mace so far up his-- --I'm an Anophile, and I hate that comment!

In other words, it is your choice; I would just base it on playing style and how much you like the NPC, since ultimately it is your party to play.
