Not so awesome if you want to reload and level her until you get the maximum hit points. I tried lowering the difficulty level and that did not work. :(

When gaining a Fighter Level and a Druid Level, what is the probability of rolling a 12? Is it 1 in 20 or 1 in 80?
Jaheira is awesome for a variety of reasons.

Did anyone forget that she can shape-shift into a bear? ...or raise fallen characters?

0%

Mulltclasses get half the HP of the class they're leveling up.

So in Jaheira's case she'll get 1d10 + 3 / 2 (maximum 6) on fighter level-up and 1d8 + 2 / 2 (maximum 5) on a druid level up

also, the only class that rolls 12 sided dice on level up is the barbarian

The fighter level is half of (d10+3) for a maximum of 6 or 7 depending of if the extra hit point is rounded up or down.

The druid level is half of (d8+3) for a maximum of 5 or 6 depending on if the extra hit point is rounded up or down.

I think the rounding depends on if the total number of levels is even or odd. I have not tested this, so I do not know if it is rounded up or down on odd and even levels, respectively. Here is how I think a roll from level 1/1 to 2/2, or 2/2 to 3/3 works:

The Fighter level gets rolled first. d10+3 yields a number from 4 to 13. Half of the maximum is 6.5. The total number of levels, now 5, is odd and this gets rounded up to 7. Now the Druid level test rolled for d8+3, yielding a number from 4 to 11 and this is divided by 2 rounding down. So a roll of 10 or 11 yields 5 hit points for a total of 12.

Based on this logic, then the probability of rolling 12 hit points for Jaheira is 1 in 40.

To my knowledge, it always rounds down. So max HP you can get if you level up both classes at the same time is 11

In my current game, I have Jaheira at Level 3 with 36 hit points.

No possible legally. Level 3 fighter & level 3 druid will get you a maximum of 27 HP ( ((10x3)/2) + ((8x3)/2) ) == 27.

I checked and you're correct. Apparently it rounds up

You're forgetting the constitution bonus

Then it's still illegal. WIth CON bonus, the max would be 34: (3x2)/2 + (3x3)/2 == 7. 27+7 == 34

So the Fighter level gets a constitution bonus of 3 and the Druid level gets a constitution bonus of 2? Or does being a Fighter mean the Fighter constitution bonus of 3 apply to both the Fighter and Druid levels?

How is it applied in the Baldur's Gate engine?

Did I roll (10 + 8 + 3 + 2) = 11.5 rounded to 12?

EDIT: Baldur's Gate Tales of the Sword Coast, as downloaded from gog, no modifications.

Method: Save before level. Reload until 12hp rolled.

Yes,Jaheira has a constitution of 17, so her fighter class gets a bonus of 3xlevel/2, and her druid class gets a bonus of 2xlevel/2. The fighter bonus does NOT count for both classes/levels.

It is applied as I stated in the previous post: each class that levels gets the appropriate bonus divided by 2. You did not roll the figures you stated, assuming both classes leveled at the same time, you rolled each class separately:

Fighter -- 10+3 / 2 == 6
Druid -- 8+2 / 2 == 5
== 11

Edit: note that this is assuming maximum rolls, ie. you have a cheat active. In actuality the rolls would be:
D10+3 / 2
D8+2 / 2

Awww-w-w-w, nuts...!
Just lost Jaheira 'Inside The Planar Sphere' in my battle with T__________s .

As a general rule, I try not to re-load a save slot if one of my party members is completely destroyed and cannot be resurrected and the main target has been taken down to clear the path.

Ah well, there's always another hero in Faerun just waiting to be recruited.

:)

I recently completed the Jaheira romance successfully in BG2, and my main character got 100,000 XP. Do you get the XP in regular BG2 or just the Enhanced Edition (which is the one I played). And does the Jaheira romance continue in Throne of Bhaal, because looking around it seems like she's the only romance that doesn't?

You get XP for Jaheira's quests, not for completing a romance. And yes, BG2 throws XP at you like it's confetti. All valid romances can continue in ToB.

After looking at the XP requirements per level for higher level characters, I can see why it would throw XP around so freely. =)
