Opinions on NPC to round out party

[FFTanier]

Anomen just got ticked off and left my party. Now I have me (fighter), Minscy (and Boo), Imoen, Nalia, and Aerie. My choises for replacements appear to be Mazzy, Edwin, or Valygar. (I've let some of the NPCs die)

Who should I pick? Oh, here is where I am in the story:

Just smoked Bodhi. She killed Aerie but I went to Umar Hills and brought her back. I lose Anomen due to a glitch that kept his quest from running. I'm ready to bring that lantern to Elf Town and go after Jonny I.

You let NPCs die! couldn't you just resurect them. You should only ever let Nalia die (cringe)

Pick up Jaheira for a replacement Cleric/fighter or rather druid

Yup, Jaheria gets my vote too, if not, Valygar.

A druid would round out your party nicely, especially as you already have ample mages and tanks. An extra healer/tank i.e Jaheira would go well with your group, if she is dead and you have no intention of resurrecting her then Cernd might be the way to go. IMO, a character with druid abilities should always be with the party, to help out with support/healing spells and to counterbalance your cleric, or half-cleric since its Aerie .
If you dont want a druid, or feel a healer is unnecessary-then Mazzy/Valygar is the way to go.I wouldnt recommend Edwin as you already have enough mages and

*spoiler* Minsc and Edwin do not get on. Eventually they will fight each othr and you will lose one. Besides Edwin is a A$$hole anyway .

Who you chose out of Mazzy and Valygar depends-to a certain extent-on the weopon proficiencies you have given your PC and NPCs. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help so far and I welcome other opinions. Jaheria died while I was still in Jonny I's dungeon in Chapter 1, I reformed her out of the party before I thought of the ressurrection option. I figure that I'm pretty mage'd up, and Anomen's role will be missed.

I guess my secondary question: Is Aerie enough of a cleric to get me through what's ahead, not just as a healer but as a Protection from Evil/Holy Smite caster?

Take Mazzy, shes severley underated, equip her with a bow and she'll knock anything to kingdom come, shes a superb long range fighter and should be very helpful as you appear to be very thief and magic strong.

Time is only relevant if you have none !
