Gerringothe is only dealing damage if that character have a lot of money. I arrived there with around 1000 gold so she did like 30 something. I also agree with JandK around act 2 I found enugh angelic potions to not to rest at all. It allowed me to spare a lot of time. And in act 3 those potions are basically limitless so resting is just helping against act 1 difficulty. Where the game is mybe OK still I think its not enugh. But in act 2 - 3 where the difficulty is gooing down where the shadows or lvl 10 flaming fist have less hp then a goblin in act 1 resting is not needed any more.
Funny thing I taught that I will capture the dorctor with controll undead:). But It was his lucky day. BTW the doctor can only deal 40-50 dmg with critical and only if the nurses are alive . Even if he is resurrecting to gain the big dmg buff the nurse needs to be alive for 2 turns. So technically in act 1 Flind / Dror Ragzlin / beholder / ogres / Gith patroll/ Paladin of Tyr / bullet / Bernard / Grym / Gnoll archers dealing more dmg. And it's not restricted to specific status effects like gold or nurses. But I think the most terrifying is Grym and the Bullet and Flind. No act 2 or kind almost no act 3 boss is dealing even close enugh dmg.
Also I can bet a copy of Baldur's gate 3 that Baretta's team can defeat every lvl 10 flaming fist patroll. I wish some modder would do this. For example in elden ring boss vs boss.

Yeah I usually avoid crazily multiclassing too (and I prefer multiclassing in a way that is more or less lore friendly to the character, for example you would never ever see me giving Astarion paladin lvls), my 1st tactician I beat using a lvl 12 red dragon sorcerer (but used some tadpole powers which I avoided in this run).
I actually find thematically Oath breaker fitting with Astarion. First because he is connected with necromancy. Second that he is struggling between good and evil choices and he is failing a lot to not do the right thing. Also he is technically undead actually this is a huge error from Larian that he is still count as humanoid. ( funny thing is even the writer of Astarion refers him as undead) Also he is kind of a mischief and that is why I learned from feats mockery. But every one have another experience and imagination about companions.
