Qara

Quara (female chaotic neutral human sorceress) is a joinable NPC in Neverwinter Nights 2.

Qara has a knack for fire magic and destruction. She joins you because she's forced to do so, since she has ignited property of your uncle Duncan. She's very arrogant and self confident and you will very likely run into trouble with the Neverwinter Academy if you travel with her.

Gameplay
Her stats are: Str 10, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 11, Cha 18. You can correct her bad spell selection when she levels up, because she is almost exclusively into attack spells in the beginning, even in totally crappy ones like Ghoul Touch. Support spells like Enlarge, Haste, or Stoneskin will make her a lot less often the target of all enemy attacks, and will quickly make her a great addition to any party. Like with all sorcerers, metamagic feats such as Empower Spell and Maximize Spell will allow her to use attack spells on levels where she has none preselected, which allows for more flexibility in her spell selection.
