Sheena, a Half Dragon Tale

Sheena is an optional NPC added by a modification to Baldur's Gate II (SoA and ToB).

Stats

Human form:

• Strength: 16
• Dexterity: 12
• Constitution: 16
• Intelligence: 15
• Wisdom: 10
• Charisma: 15

Dragon form:

• Strength: 20
• Dexterity: 12
• Constitution: 18
• Intelligence: 15
• Wisdom: 10
• Charisma: 15

Recruitment

Sheena can be recruited by opening the left cell above Firkraag's lair. The only way to open this cell is by killing Firkraag and collecting the key left on his body, which makes it difficult for low-level parties to recruit Sheena.

Although a half-dragon, she is implemented as a Fighter/Mage, and therefore can wear any armour (but cannot cast spells unless it is Elven Chain Mail). The only exception is that if you forge armour from the scales of Firkraag, she will remove it immediately after being equipped and will return it to the PC's inventory (she does not object to the armour being forged, nor it being worn by other companions).

Strategy

Sheena doesn't have particularly good stats, but she is fine as a second-line fighter (helped by the reach of two-handed weapons). Her dragon form adds 4 to strength, though there are plenty of strength-boosting items in SoA so this isn't a huge advantage, and it can only be used in certain locations.

Sheena comes equipped with a two-handed sword with +3 to hit, which also does fire damage. This can be particularly useful when taking on trolls.

Romance

Sheena can enter into a romance if the PC is male (any race) and of good or neutral alignment. Once the romance is complete, you can initiate 'flirt talks' by having your PC start a dialogue with Sheena.

Interactions

Sheena will interact with other NPCs in your party:

• Keldorn: Angry words about humans attacking dragons, and dragons being evil (bit unfair, given how Keldorn respects a good dragon met in the Underdark).
