shes goood!!!!!!
once i got around that little love bomb--thanx Larry--other than that, shes great!
i gave her a helmet, a club (she can use that) and that small shield that you get from Guildmistress Busya in Trademeet when you kill the Djinnis and take the Efreeti bottle. Now, she is immune to charm, and, with a couple dispel magics, she becomes my Anti-Charminator. Mwahaahaha!
and Nalia, though a better mage, dualclassed from a thief at l. 4. She has the worst thief stats ive ever seen! all of her l. 2 spells hafta be Knock. otherwise, shes useless.
so to recap,
aerie is good if you avoid the pitfalls of love!!!!!

Thats just it, isnt she good alignment? My parties' made up of evil people who want to eat your children. Aerie just plain don't fit. I fed her to a dragon.

I like Arie because she carries both mage AND cleric spells. And the best part is when she casts a cleric spell, she does not have to do that "Vita-Mortis-Kaya" chant...she just casts it like a mage spell, and they are faster on the battle-field than the chanters...
I like her...(though I do wish I could find a cute pic to replace her with...(hehe)

Personally, I got tired of Arie asking me about her wings, etc. That and I liked Nalia being able to use a bow, so I took her instead. With Anomen, Viconia, and Jaheria, their are plenty of others that can cast cleric spells. But I agree that her speed was useful.

Airhead the Valley Elf Realy does "suck" if you you know what I mean, besides I gave her the girdle of hill giant strength and the flail of ages and some good defensive stuff so she has a great AC and now she realy kicks ASS.
