Khalid single-handedly takes out Karoug

I often see Khalid getting hate here, so I thought I’d stick up for him. The man can single-handedly take out Karoug, one of the toughest enemies in the game.

At least, I remember him being very tough. The first time on Balduran’s island, I almost couldn’t get past him. Of course, I hadn’t brought any of the right weapons with me, and it took me a while to find the sword lying nearby. But even after finding the sword, I had a tough time with the hairball.

So this time round, I dosed all my fighters with potions of speed, storm/cloud giant strength and heroism. When I got to the top floor, I sent Khalid with the burning earth to keep Kharoug busy, while I sent everyone else up against his entourage. 

To my surprise, Khalid took down Kharoug on his own, before I had finished with the rest. I reloaded a few times to test it out more, and he repeated his feat without fail (on core rules).

All this to say: Khalid rocks.
