How do you equip Jaheira? Options

She can go a lot of different ways.

I think most people slap a STR belt on her, and the best armor possible. After that, there's a lot of ways to go:

Do you go for a spear? Staff? Club & Shield? Dual Wielding (Belm is an awesome off-hand weapon and she can use it).

I'd love to hear some ideas.

Or the Staff of Arundel from Joluv (+3 and gives her bonus spells or something). The problem I have with two-handed is that there aren't any really good spears or staves in SoA (until the Staff of the Woodlands at the very, very end), and they usually don't give any good bonuses. With sword and shield, she gets the benefits of the single-handed weapon and any bonuses from the shield (and there are some very worthwhile shields in SoA). By the time you get the +6 spear in ToB, it'll pretty much be the end of the game.

Without a good AC, the Iron Skins will wear off fairly quickly with her on the front lines, and it won't really protect her from enemy spells (whereas she could have a shield with magic or elemental resistance bonuses). But she can wear most any armor in the game, so the shield isn't strictly necessary for improving AC, and the extra damage from a two-handed weapon could help since she's not terribly great in combat.
