    The "rebalanced" shapeshifter component of EoU probably.

    No, its a druid spell for all druids and their muticlasses and the EoU component doesn't mention this. In fact, its an original spell that has been upgraded.

    from the EoU readme:
    "Conjure Animals" has been changed
    to summon two 20 HD Greater Bearweres (they're like Greater Wolfweres).

    I had the same problems as Advanced Simplicity. I first tried taking her on with Cernd in my party and he got chunked the second round. I then kicked him out of my party as I seemed to recall that it was scripted that he would always win that fight and just like for AS they were at it for a long time with Cernd getting free greater restorations every other round but after he started doing damage to her for the first time he just dropped dead. I am going to try now again but I found it a tad annoying.

    Well, he died the second time too after a very long time of slugging it out.

    Heh, I SK'ed in 100+ resistances for Cernd in everything to see what happens. This time I kept him in my party. The first time he falls victim to natures beauty in the first round and the second time Faldorn can somehow hurt him for 60+ damage each round despite him being immune to everything and should by all means be healed by whatever she does. Oh and I also gave him a few extra million XP. All for naught. Perhaps I should go back to Trademeet and get that poison?

    I have just done this myself with Jaheira lvl 13/13.

    I used Insect Plague immediatly and then summoned 4 Greater Bearweres. Without these installed I would not have stood a chance, I can't see how Fire Elementals would be that effective in their place. I think this was definatly a component that expects you to have Cernd with rebalanced shapeshifter.

    I think the Improved Grove was quite fun as well, but my party is just out from the Underdark (rushed for Immy) and my sorcereress tore apart Kylan Lind's party. I don't even know how powerful their attacks were as they never saw her :D

    Well my druids are lvl 11 if I have everything legit. Nor do I have the thing installed which gives you bearweres. I just want to get past her. Not even scripted Cernd can beat her, that is impressive.

    Scripted SKed Cernd managed to beat her, but now he is barred from my party due to being way too high a level. Oh well, I am going to use Mazzy for the first time. She gets a long with Korgan right?

    Wow. So it sounds like it's actually my set of mods that allows my scripted Cernd to defeat Improved Faldorn. Or a few of you guys all have the same mod-incompatibility. Sigh. Off to tinker.
