[Barry the Sprout]

I have to go with the Jan supporters on this one. He is amazingly funny, enough to brighten any party even ignoring the brilliant theiving and mage skills he brings.

But a contraversial one for second - Cernd. He gets incredibly good at higher levels. Greater Werewolf puts his armour class at -15, or there abouts, and he has easily the best cleric spells (Creeping Doom anyone...). Jaheira has these as well but she is a worse fighter (admitteddly you have to move Cernd out of combat to cast spells as he is weak then, but try casting spells with jah on the front line and you will see what I mean when I say this make no difference, unless you stand back you get interrupted anyway. So you might as well stand back and cast, then change and charge!!)
