What's going on with those absurd stats? I really despise this approach of making a low level character more powerful through insane stats that make no sense for a PC race. Talk about a feel bad for players tinkering with their measly point buy trying to assign the best stats for themselves and then seeing this 16 16 16 16 18 nonsense casually slapped on whatever side quest cannon fodder NPC that comes along. Take a look at the Gith patrol stats for confirmation.
Why isn't Halsin higher level instead with normal stats!?? He should be anyway for what he represents in the gameworld. He should be far beyond the party's ability to fight fairly. Let an evil party fight him with help from evil allies, they exist in the story. This design is so lazy! Level 5 leader of a druid circle just so you can 1v1 them... wth seriously Larian? This character design is all over the place mechanically and someone should remind them how D&D works. When you rescue him you could easily strip him of spell slots and HP to put him in a weakened state so he can't just obliterate all the goblins. And preferably he should turn into a bird and escape back to the grove to lick his wounds.
And I really can't take another "I was epicly powerful but got weakened for gameplay purposes" story so let's not go there again.
