3rd Stable 9 NPC Configuration

[valk]

Was looking into ways to keep Artimenner and Jeremus as a part of the team.  Surprisingly, I found a stable 9 person configuration in doing so.  This is what I got:

1. Artimenner
    Engineer: 4
    Trade: 3
    Tactics: 2
    Tracking: 1
    Spotting: 1
2. Jeremus
    Wound Treatment: 4
    Trade: 3
    First Aid: 3
    Surgery: 3
3. Lezalit (Supports Ar)
    Trainer: 4
4. Firentis (Supports J)
    Trainer: 1
5. Ymira
    Trade: 3
    First Aid: 3
    Wound Treatment: 1
    Surgery: 1
6. Alayen (Supports Y against Ar)
    Tactics: 1
7. Rolf (Independent Pair R & Ba)
    Tactics: 2
    First Aid: 1
    Surgery: 1
8. Baheshtur (Independent Pair R & Ba)
    No initial skills, but could be a good fighter and trainer.
9. Borcha (Loner excluding Kl and D)
    Tracking: 3
    Pathfinding: 3
    Spotting: 2

This gives you two of the most intelligent starting npc's right off the bat, as well as a good deal of redundancy if anyone should be wounded

Yeah, there are two other 9 person configurations, however, I searched for this particular one, but couldn't find it.  That's what really surprised me.

Great post, I always tried to keep Aritmeter and Jeremus in same party. Is there anyway to make this possible with less crowded combination ?

A minimalist approach with Artimeter and Jeremus would be to only include Firentis to support Jeremus, and Lezalit to support Artimenner.  You could potentially have two good trainers,  a trader, a healer, a scout, and an engineer with just those four, thereby keeping xp points between just five people.  However you would immediately suffer a bit if one or more where wounded for some time, especially if it was the Jeremus the healer that was wounded.

Whoa, that's pretty cool.
