| |  How to keep Yoshimio ALIVE
Before leaving for SpellHold,
use a cursed scroll or your
mage's spell to petrify it (turn him
to stone). His script WILL NOT change.
Just UN-Stone him when you get back,
and he will stay with you. |

The Dude,
Imoen is **** compared to Yoshi !
She's weak (so she can't backstab
successfully), she has few hit points,
even her thief skills are bad.
She's not a good mage etc. etc. etc.
She is bad.
If you need a mage, take Edwin or Nalia. |

Isn't Imoen as good as Nalia(or even better) once she reaches the experience cap? |

(grin) Yoshimo is a better pure thief than Nalia or Imoen, and Edwin is a better pure mage than either of them. Jan is superior to both girls in all categories, so I'd go with him anyway. |

Jan's awesome, but he's certainly not a better spell-caster. He's multi-classed, and therefore can't reach the same spell-casting potential as either Imoen or Nalia. Both of them can hit level 17 as a mage and still retain their thief abilities.
I kept Imoen on as my mage and thief. She does indeed suck at hiding in shadows, and therefore backstabbing, but I never found it to be a big loss. She can do the two things that you absolutely need a thief for very well: pick locks, and find/disarm traps. Besides, who in their right mind could ditch their annoying little sister!? http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/biggrin.gif |

I agree.Anyway,I mainly used her to disarm traps and open locks,maybe summon a few creatures.Heck,she even finished the game without getting into battle(hey,she needed to be 'protected' from the evil creatures out to get her http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/tongue.gif http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/tongue.gif )

ok i'm glad to see that i'm not the only one who thinks that imoen doesn't suck.
she isn't a bad mage and here thief ability's
are also not bad.
I dont use hide in shadows much, the ring of invisebillity is good enough for me.
And backstabbing isn't as fun as slashing youre way through horeds of goblins http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/wink.gif:d |

Second time through I solved this problem a fun/hard way. That is, I plowed through chaps 1 and 2 as fast as possible, saving virtually ALL the quests you usually complete in chaps 2&3 for after the underdark.
The up: Imoen gets a lot of XP before you move on to Tethir and she makes a damn fine mage (IMHO).
The down: Obviously, you end up going through the asylum and the underdark with relatively weak characters and not so much great equipment. But there's a silver lining here--the challenge was super fun. I got my ass kicked plenty, but I was still able to make it through without cheating. Good fun. |

Why is everybody talking about Nalia and Imoen?
I prefer Jan Jansen. He is a excellent thief and a excellent mage.
Are there any others out there who favors Jan, like me? http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/biggrin.gif |

Ho hum, not this discussion again. Personally I hate them all. http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/wink.gif
Jan is short, Edwin is a hermaphrodite, Nalia is posh, Imoen is annoying and Yoshimo is treacherous dog-filth. http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
