I personally would dump Keldorn; he's not half as much fun as Minsc. However, I have Viconia in my party, which precludes having a paladin - she and Keldorn don't exactly get along (and Viconia is waay better than Keldorn IMO). Minsc is a decent fighter...and while Saravok looks to be a better fighter, I just didn't want to make the room.


The Roster:

ME - Dualled Fighter-Druid (she is laughably invincible: grand mastery with staffs, plus two-handed weapon specialization and the staff of striking sends a lot of baddies flying across the screen)

Minsc - two handed swords specialization, plus he can dual wield (blackrazor and the whatsit axe)

Valgyar - dual wielding crom faeyr and celestial fury and that's all she wrote...but he gets hit a lot (AC not very good)

Viconia - mauler's arm plus she has the best AC in the group: -11

Imoen - Mages are good...especially when they can hang back and shoot arrows when not casting spells

Nalia - See above<hr></blockquote>Ha! I beg to disagree. We have TWO paladins in my party, and Vickey gets along just fine, after her initial argument with Keldorn.SPOILER!

If you keep it up with good examples, she can"turn good," and that,IMHO, is a Paladin's duty.

Hmm... Saervok is probably the most overpowered NPC in the game... I WONDER WHO I'M GONNA TAKE WITH ME! ;) Man he is NUTS! I loved sending him in alone to smack around a small army of enemies with toughen and smite. Keep Minsc because hes cool... ;) And his sneaking ability is handy with any of the Studded Armour +6s... Then he can make do without heavy armour. Keldorn isn't bad, but any theif can use holy avenger with Use Any Item, and their are some REALLY nice axes in ToB... Heck, maybe swing ol' Korgan in their. ;) Hes tough too, but if you like minsc more, take him and give him either of the super axes (Axe of the Unyielding W/another axe (frostreaver or stonefire) or K'logarath if you like ranged). lol, I gave Keldorn Foebane and Purifier (using *s in dual weapons) and BOY DID HE EVER ROCK!

Ultimately, use Saervok regardless. He's cool AND fun AND powerful. Use Minsc if you like him, or Keldorn if you don't like having a killing machine/scout... WITH a hamster I might add!
