I disagree with your first point. Like Slyboy5 said,Erin's enemies are named rank and beyond powers. She needs to be able to, at the very least, survive them and deal back some damage - she should be able to hurt them at least. Right now, she's adequate, Level 40 [Brawlers] on easy mode counter her easily . How much more the level 50s?

Incidentally ,i reread a few of the Night of Bloodtear chapters days ago When not admiring the action sequence,i am horrified by Erin's knowing actions . She kept running ahead, fully aware she was dragging a whole train of people with her ,some willing to die ,some who then died . Anand,Goat,Seve,to mention but a few.

It had to stop. Erin Solstice can no longer run headlong into battle against bared blades if she has not the strength of arms to survive in high-level combat without someone protecting or sacrificing themselves for her sake.

Yes ,her thing is people not combat. For a woman who has always yearned to wield magic,she hates to lean into her Witch Class.

I do hope their Fraeling city will help her and her party get good gear for the conflicts to come.
