Biography

When asked about her past, Aerie becomes silent for a time, obviously saddened by the memory. She lived amongst the Avariel, the winged elves, and was captured by slavers when she was still very young. She shudders when she speaks of her first years in the circus, on display in a cage that restricted her movements to the point that her wings atrophied. They became infected... and Aerie can barely speak of the night she was taken out of her cage and her wings were sawn off brutally to keep her alive. She was no longer of use to that circus, and were it not for the kindness of Quayle she surely would have died. He restored her to health and gave her a reason to continue living, and out of respect for his generosity she learned the devotion of the gnomish god Baervan Wildwanderer. She speaks of Baervan with affection, yet still pays tribute to Aerdrie Faenya, and approaches life outside of the circus with a combination of wide-eyed innocence and wonder mixed with an inborn determination to fight against injustice.

Aerie is a romance option for a Male PC of the following races - Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Halfling, Gnome

Bardan says, "Aerie is an interesting character. Many people dislike her for her whiney tone, but let me ask you - if someone sawed your limbs off when you were a teenager, don't you think you would lack a little confidence? In any case, as the game progresses, she comes out of her shell a bit, and by ToB she is one of the most interesting characters. Her stats are not great in terms of having no 18's or 17's, but she has a decent line across the board. Anyway, if you're trying to learn spells, you should give her a Potion of Genius, as there are only about 100 of them in the game!

As for equipment, if she's your primary spellcaster, she would benefit from The Staff of the Magi, the Robe of Vecna (but would cute little Aerie wear such a vile item?) Choice of Rings : Wizardry, Acuity, Holiness, Holy Symbol (ToB). Give her a sling and some magic bullets and set her in the back, where she can buff with her clerical spells, and destroy with her mage spells. I would not recommend you give her a single-handed weapon and shield, as her constitution is low and she does not have many hitpoints. She is simply not suited for front-line war, but is best used as a rear-of-the-party spellcaster.

Remember that as a mage/cleric, she can put clerical spells into her sequencers and contingiencies."
