I use Aveline as my tank. Currently dividing attribute points equally between strength and constitution. I guess she deals okay damage (able to take down enemies but it takes her a while). Strength increases fortitude which is important, but there are some passive abilities available which provides %100 (or nearby) resistence to stagger/stun, if I remember correctly. Would it not make more sense in giving her limited strength (just to upgrade weapons) and the rest in constitution and cunning, thereby increasing defense? Still in act 1 and I am a rogue with Bethany and Merill in my company.

All Strength Aveline works really well. I recomend it strongly. Just enough constitution to equip your shield. I still get Second Wind though.
Cunning isn't worth it for defense since it requires more and more of it to be valuable.

Only strength? What about constitution? She does have to absorb damage after all.cJohnOne wrote...

There's quite a bit of Constitution to equip your shield. It takes 18 to equip mage's friend which is quite a lot. I was surpised how well it works.

I balance strength and constitution and I think she does extremely well.

Immovable works great! The only problem is Aveline is generating less threat in this mode but she can take quite a lot.

I give Aveline enough strength to maintain 100 attack, and the rest goes into constitution and willpower. Enough constitution to keep her alive and enough willpower so she has enough stamina to use her talents with second wind.
A 2/1 strength/constitution ratio is good. If you have the Black Emporium, you can always respec her later on if needed.
Immovable is a good talent to pick up for Aveline, along with the rest in her personal tree. If the rest of the squad are doing so much damage that Aveline can't keep threat, then make use of goad, armistice, and the other threat shedding talents that the companions have access to.
