Jen'lig has her very own story line, you do not need her for the Sandrah plot. When you do not take her, she solves her mission on her own and may cross your path again (but not join you), Also, she will bot appear in ToB if you did not have her in BG1. You can treat her like an NPV from an independent mod.

Wonderful!  Thank you.

Sorry, back for a non-tech support related question.

My party is full up and keep meeting these new extra party members I want to try.  Jen'lig really doesn't have a place with my Mage/Thief Imoen.  When I remove her, she appears to vanish all together.  How much am I screwing over the Sandrah storyline if I kick her to the curb, and is there a chance to pick her back up later?

Okay, good news!  I did another fresh install of the "Full" variety on my desktop, rather than my laptop.

Lo and behold, everything works exactly as you say it should.  I don't even have that 5th 1st level spell slot glitch anymore.  Even the portraits are right. 

*headscratch* I have no idea why which Windows 10 machine I install on would make a difference, but it did. 

Yeah I noticed the spellbook was nearly empty, except for a single remove fear spell being readied.  But if I go into her Casting menu in-game, those spells are just as you say, plus a Knock spell at the very end, to the right of the Heal Wounds (2) spell slot.

The casting menu is fine.  The knock is determined to be there or not when you enter the Gorion murder area by evaluating some stats from the protagonist.

 

I think I have meanwhile found a solution to force those other spells to be shown in the spellbook as well in case they are missing. The open issue remaining is the empty extra spellslot at level1, which is a game issue according to my information.

Cool! All the regular priest spells show in the Spellbook list, they just don't appear in the Memorized slots, and the Spellbook reports 0/2 Memorized.  Clicking on Spells doesn't fill the slots.  Right clicking the slots doesn't empty them, the way it normally does. 

it's my first time ever hearing of that issue, but again, I've only played BG/SoD as an Enhanced game, so only Glint is my multi-class cleric.  He didn't have that problem.  Have no idea if Aerie or Anomen would have showed it in Vanilla BG2EE.
