Druids can no longer cast remove fear in BGEE?

I was surprised to discover Jaheira could not cast Remove Fear as a spell, as she could in Baldur's Gate I. I guess this was removed, as part of using BG2 mechanics in place of BG1? If so, I think it's a poor idea. Druids already have a considerably poorer selection of spells than clerics at low levels. This change almost necessitates getting a cleric to replace or in addition to Jaheira, to survive those early battles where a mage casts fear early on.

    Considering that it was the case that they could cast it both in BG1 and in BG2 this sounds like something that should be moved into the bugs section.

    I've gone and looked through all of the druids spells (levels 1-5) in BG2 vs BGEE, and it looks like this is the only one that has been removed.

    Looks like they could in vanilla BG1. Druids have never had the spell in any of my BG2 setups.

    @belgarathmth looks like you are right. For whatever reason my BG2 had it listed, but a fresh install doesn't so I must have picked it up in a tweak pack or something around those lines. Like you my druid (player character druid not just Jaheira) in BG1 however does have access to it.

    Looks like this came up a couple of months ago (well actually more like 3 hehe).
