    Geases are extremely brutal effects, and very difficult to remove. In 3rd, you have to be higher level than the caster, or use Wish, Miracle (cleric version of Wish) or Limited Wish. Thus, our favourite railroad engineer would definately be powerful enough to break the spell, but technically, the Geas isnt a standard one. It isnt the spell, its an effect based on your partial divinity and your partial control over your divine realm, such as it is.

    Since Mellissan has tons of essence and is a very high level cleric/favoured servant of Bhaal, she should be able to override such an effect.

    Geases that are open ended, like general assistance, have time limits. But specific ones, like 'cut down all the trees in this forest' dont go away until the Quest is finished. Quest is the divine version btw.

    I believe it is the act of putting a geas on him in the first place that makes his change of heart impossible. It means you do not trust him and will never trust him so he has little incentive to think about his ways and turn around. A geas is not impossible to break, very difficult but possible, yes. And IIRC Melyssan is a lvl 40/40 cleric/mage with the %99 power of a god, so yes she can break the geas, IMHO.

    The mod is by David Gaider; Westley Weimer published it in WeiDU.

    Geases are a narrative power. When the narrative requires them to break, they break.

    @Sergio I think Amelyssan is 30 Cleric/30 Mage actually. It doesn't matter if she's human. She's almost a demi-goddess and she's treated as such for storyline purposes.

    You cannot kill her. You can only weaken her and then the gods do the rest in the end.
    Partial divinity or divine power does that.

    Most gods are "multiclasses" no matter their race.

    And yes, Cleric/Mages are fun to play. You have tons of spells and you can wear helmets, shields, use better weapons and wear Elven Chains for armor.

    The problem is that you will lag behind other pure casters. Imoen in my game was about level 30 and Aerie was 20+/20+.
