>>10570407>fights as equalshe's dogshit in a dress. her stats are trash and she basically only offers magic, which is her desperate crutch of contribution. and yes, she is a shop owner. JUST a shop owner. she doesnt have what it takes to keep up as the adventure progresses. she's part of the party that gets blasted by gades, and does not go with them to defeat him because she doesnt have what it takes. selan outclasses her as a competent woman and thats why maxim marries her. selen keeps up. in the end, she's still a woman and dies about it, but she was always a fighter and capable. tia was a crybaby bitch the whole way through. she didnt have the fortitude to handle the adventure. selen wouldnt take no for an answer. tia does not fight as equal at all, and bows out before the monsters and enemies get too tough/extreme. "but she IS a playable member of the party" is not an argument, especially considering the journey so far.
