Keldorn will fight Viconia because she's evil. he's a paladin, commited to upholding good in the realms; Viconia is drow, meaning, evil. If your PC is in a romance with Viconia, she won;t have that dialogue with keldorn as she's learning to trust.

Really you prefer Anomen to Viciona? Anomen was the cleric in my first party but in my second game as an archer I took Jaheria because she was a better fighter. Now in my evil game I have Viciona who I think is the best cleric in the game- 18 wisdom is nice, why do you prefer Anomen who only has 12(16 if passes test) wisdom

Probably because he's got the added fighter proficiences, coupled with an excess strength (18/53) for THAC0 bonuses. You can grandmaster him in War Hammer, give him Crom Faeyr, and he's near unstoppable at higher levels.

All 18 WIS does is give added spells at 3rd and 4th level. By the time you get to higher levels, Anomen has so many spells that you won't be able to use them all by the time your other characters are ready to rest.

Viconia *is* an outstanding cleric, if you're just wanting a straight cleric. But without additional help (like belt of hill giant strength, etc.) she's not very good at fighting. Anomen fills two slots in one: cleric and fighter. I think that's why a lot of people run with him as an NPC.

Cheers,
-Saz

I'm going to try the HAPPY SCRIP Patch, since I'm already too far into the game (Underdark, Chapter 5). So, I don't want to go back and get Anomen again.

ENJOY !

Welcome to IW!! [img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img] I was at that point when keldorn turned on viciona, and there ain't many ways u can raise rep there. I canged viciona's alignment to CN using shadow keeper(1st game) and viciona ended up saying she respected keldorn.

Sazerac is right. Anomen by far is a more powerful Cleric than Viconia. Like it or not, Anomen is still a full cleric also, because he can attain all the spells. He only misses out on one level 3 and 4 spell slot. That is two spells. For two measly spells, he gains a fighter's STR, can Grandmaster in a weapon, has an additional 1/2 attack due to his level 7 fighter status, can dualwield properly, fighter's HP, etc... ...

If you think Anomen is weak, wait till you see him dualwielding Crom Faeyr and the Defender of Easthaven. After casting Righteous Magic, Draw Upon Holy Might, Regeneration, Blade Barrier, Armour of Faith, etc... he is going to chew Viconia up and spit her out( even if you tool Viconia with the same equipment and spells).

His only downfall is his attitude.
