    well i joined bodhis vampire empire for the first time and actually found the quests quite enjoyable (mostly because id never done them before)

    shadow thieves are a piece of cake to beat up compared to vampies (use detect invisibility a lot to find those backstabbing thieves) - so i think joining bodhi is in fact easier than aran's thieves (level drain really pisses me off, and vampies need magical weapons to hit)

    you dont get the amulet of power and ring of protection +2 straight away though, but you get a rifthome axe +3 - so far so good...

    But what will happen if you have a paladin in your party?

    Someone did say if you had Keldorn in party and joined Bodhi's guild he would renounce you and leave away, also the Noble Order would not help you later I simply guess, because this is an evil doing...

    Maybe I'm wrong?

    To Divine Shadow: And as soon as you don't pay Gaelon money, Bodhi will wait for you at grave district surely.

    Nope, that's the only two ways of getting there.

    I heard some rumors about the paladin being able to go there in connection with stronghold, but I wouldn't know (haven't played paladin).

    I played through as a paladin my first time through and the stronghold provided no other means of rescuing Imoen. The paladin stonghold gives you some really good equipment (Pride of the Legion, some shield and, of course, Carsomyr) but no additional "opportunities."

    You can get the paladins to help you fight Bodhi if your rep is high, but they couldn't find you a pirate to take you to Brynnlaw if their chrome-plated butts depended on it. (-:

    Is anyone actually sure what will happen with Keldorn if you join Bodhi's guild?

    Yes. He leaves the party. So does Mazzy.
