Jaheira/Approval

Overview

Approval

Banter

Jaheira values decisiveness, honesty and bravery, and respects the chain of command (as long as the player character's actions are in phase with her own understanding of good and evil). Holding a high position among the Harpers, Jaheira also appreciates discretion and calculated risk. She likes to follow through everything she does, and keeps long memories of her past, ready to recognize the vice if it sprouts around again in a new form. Finally, she loves snarky jokes, even at her own expense, and approves of good deeds no matter how small they are.

Jaheira disapproves leaving in danger or harming those unable to protect themselves (especially children). She dislikes attempts to bargain with villains, as she sees no difference between lesser and greater evil. Jaheira despises any cowardice, disloyalty or breaking of subordination, as well as unnesessary cruelty and indiscretion. Lastly, despite her outer demeanor, she is ready to blot out anyone who casts a single menacing look on her own family and friends.

As Jaheira has been involved closely in fighting the cult of Bhaal in her past, she takes to heart any of its current manifests, interactions with it and/or any connections to it around her that might come to the surface along the way.

The actions and choices listed on this page will raise or lower Jaheira's Approval.

For more information about the approval system, see Approval.
