Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Jaheira does not get pulled into combat

Tried to get around this bug.

Respec'ced Jaheira into a low Wis fighter. Got Gale in the party with Dominate person prepared.

Left camp. Asked Jaheira to leave the party. Went turn-based. Gale cast Dominate person on her. Returned to camp. Gale cancelled concentration. Jaheira ran off. Left camp. Jaheira was in same spot where I asked her to leave the party. Character that gift-barters her 4000gp raises her barter reputation and then treats her as an ally.

Mild success here, as you can buff her.

To quickly replicate the above. Have each companion gift-barter her in succession without asking her to join the party. You can even steal back gold to do this faster.

However reverse is not true. Dominating Gale, making him run off, and having Jaheira try to gift-barter does not work. Origin companions only converse with MC and have no barter option.

This means she cannot buff you. Which is a major sticking point if she's her iconic Bard or Druid iteration. I guess a work-around is to make her a self-contained fighter or ranger; able to be buffed but not a buffer.
