Playing an evil playthrough. Is there a point where you can kill Scar without busting quests or any progression? If you kill him at Wyrm Crossing will he come back later?

No rush, hey I appreciate it E.
And still got owned by two doppelgangers.
I killed him at the bridge, but yeah I too was wondering if it made more sense to ignore him and kill him later or even kill him at a certain point in the quest chain... Mainly I just want to have "Scar" as one of me evil dudes most powerful vanquished haha.
Uh, why wouldn't you?
An edit:
> he is the only guy that is actually actively searching for you and meets you in a neutral road to actually ask you for help
> by asking you for help, he is the only link you got in a city you don’t know at all
> you are suggested by a Gorion’s friend that he is trustworthy
> he gives you some things to do that actually make you explore the city, giving you permission to enter in areas that would be forbidden
> he gives you quests to actually hinder your enemy and find more about him.
> he has knowledge inside the city with people that may help you in your quest.
These are 6 reasons on why an evil character would not harm him, there are at least 10+ but I’m bored to write them
wand of paralyzation
greater malison scroll or spell memorized
so first what you need to do is hit him with a wand of paralyzation, he is only immune to one thing and i dont know what it is, but hopefully its not this
then get him all nice and hostile like and hit him with a greater malison spell to lower his saves
based on what i found, he is only level 6, which means that if he fails his save in a cloud kill he will die immediately ( but since all his saves are 1, you will need the greater malison to connect )
but since greater malison gives its target a -4 penalty to all saves, that means scar will now have a 20% chance to fail his save
i dont recall if there is enough room for scar to be taken out with this spoiler strategy ( if you wish to kill him after you finish all of his quests ) but if so, booyah, more money i suppose...?
What I was trying to figure out is a way for Shar-Teel to kill him (since she hates flaming fist and I wanted him to be her most powerful vanquished). He has too many HP for Magic Missile wands. Even if you escape and rest and go back. Can't backstab him. Might not be possible. Cloud Kill is the super easy way to kill him. Drop one on him off screen. He will eventually die 9 out of 10 times.
I’ll give it a try next time I try BG1
Can you kill Eltan too?
He is worth 9K experience, has a little over 5K gold on him, and some basic +1 magical gear.
and you lose REP for killing him as well i believe
Unfortunately, Scar came down with a bad case of plotitis before the doppelgangers attacked him. Otherwise, he would have won no problem.
