(Some enemies may end up spending resources trying to help out an incapacitated ally.)  Gwendilyn can take out some opponents, allowing the casters to concentrate on others.A rogue would be able to work with Gwendilyn to set up flanking bonuses against foes.  Similarly, she could also scribe scrolls to buff up some of her allies.  Gwendilyn will not likely be the best character in most parties in terms of spellcasting or fighting.  However, she will still be a very effective and valuable ally -- and a threat to her foes.</blockquote>
