Keldorn vs. Anomen

[Megachihuahua]

One day, I was very angry at Anomen. His quest was a load of bs, so I made him fail his knight test(but I think he would fail even if not for the help of a deceased commoner) I've had Keldorn join my party, and he keeps trying to 'help' anomen get through his troubled time. Eventually Anomen got mad and attacks Keldorn. They both leave my party and turn blue. The fool, Keldorn, drinks all my heal potions and won't fight back. So he dies. While they fight, I can get one to rejoin the party, but if both join they leave and fight again. Anomen has also made threats against Jan and to a lesser extent Edwin and Jaheria. What should I do? Can I avoid... disposing of Anomen?

Hm.. Do you, by any chance, have ToB installed?

Just dump Anomen, he's a weenie. And if Keldorn did fight back he'd wipe the floor with the pompous sunuvabich.

Anomen is a good PC at the start,as you can pick him up from the start.Mental Domination can take care of alot of situations.Yes,i prefer Keldorn greatly,but dont knock Anomen right off.

[Sir Degrader]

yeah, tank him then when he dies conviently forget about him.

[TheGodThatFailed]

Nicely put,Sir Degrader.

I don't have tob installed. But what should I do? After a few reloads they haven't fought for several days, but it is inevitable. If Keldorn joined and I let Anomen (little sob, but good spells) kill him, maybe I could resurrect him and it would stop.
I guess I'll just get Viconia...

I'm afraid that won't work either, Megachihuahua. Why not? See below.

Keldorn and Viconia have a serious alignment conflict - and will eventually come to blows over it. This time, Keldorn does fight (in fact, he starts the fight) and he almost invariably wipes the floor with Viconia. If you dump Anomen and take Viconia, you will eventually lose BOTH of your clerics.

I haven't taken Anomen very often myself because of his annoying personality. But I have to admit he was a tremendous help against Bodhi and her crew. The best advice I can give you is to go back to a previously Saved game and try to avoid the fight with Keldorn and Anomen. Choose different dialogue options if possible. But definitely remove the healing potions from Keldorn before the fight. If the fight can't be avoided (and I'm not sure it can since Anomen failed his test), then just let it play out and have Keldorn resurrected.

Here is a site that offers first hand accounts of Keldorn's interactions with Anomen and Viconia both. Hope that helps some.

well, theres always Aerie...shes whiny, shes multiclassed(not neccessarily a bad thing...) and shes low on HP, but she IS a cleric(and a mage at the side, making her potentially the most powerful NPC...in ToB ) and can tank better than Anomen under certain buffs...she doesnt even have alignement conflicts with Keldorn!
