Imoen- thief skills are good enough to handle all traps and locks in the game, added bonus of being an excellent mage. Has some interesting interactions with Aerie. Minsc- Fun character, fun dialogue, I've never really had him turn into a powerhouse for me. Who doesn't love a good redemption narrative? One of the most interesting and rewarding characters from a role-play perspective. Human Fighter, but can dual to thief or mage as desired. Not my favourite for good runs but an excellent frontliner. Her quest is one of the least involved quests in the game, so that's kinda disappointing, but it's hard to say no to those shorty-bonuses. Mazzy- Halfling fighter with some added abilities. Also destroys undead better than any other cleric/paladin NPC in the game. Has poor dex but dex gauntlets and cleric buffs will make him an excellent tank. His quest actually has a direct impact on his stats and character development. Health of a fighter with the level progression of a cleric. A must have for an evil playthrough, worth it 9 times out of 10 for a good or neutral playthrough as well.Īnomen: Fighter-Cleric dual. Downside is he's pretty damn evil and will leave if your rep gets too high. It's almost worth it to romance her just to see her grow up over the course of the game.Įdwin- Best damn spellcaster in the realms. Also a romantic interest, though incredibly naive and can be whiny. EE may have fixed the romance bugs.Īerie- Cleric/Mage Multiclass, essentially becomes god-mode in late game with access to almost every spell worth casting. Jaheira- As I've said elsewhere, romance is good (though buggy), excellent tank, excellent at destroying mages. His quest involves him leaving the party until you've basically done all the work for him, which is kind of annoying but such is life. Jan Jansen- interesting/humorous dialogue, excellent thief combined with the utility of a mage. I'll give it a shot with the characters I've played with so far.
