So, Ive built my two main PCs around fire/earth mage and sneaking archer. Since Jaha (the first NPC that joined me) is a good crafter from the start Im thinking of skipping crafting altogether on my main characters. The question is, do I really keep Jaha all the way through or does he suddenly levae me after all Ive invested in him (Im thinking about what sometimes happened in old Baldurs gate when some NPCs left you and never returned, taking a bunch of stuff with them and leaving a hole in the party setup).
