Yes you can take him into your party...and he is a gnome thief/illusionist.

He is a funny character, and thus worthy to join any party (his lethal itch conversation with Minsc made me almost fall off my chair from laughter), and his phrase "This reminds me of that time...waaayyy back" at the weirdest moments.

I'm also Dutch, and I also wonder why he has such a stereotypical dutch name (well, the name is stereotypical since Jan is one of the most used dutch names...and Jansen a much used surname...the combination would be rare though).
The name doesn't sound to weird though for a lunitic gnome tinkerer...

cleric 11-16-2000 04:07 PM

I think so .

Bye the way do you have e-mail ?

Mag ook nederlands .

cleric 11-16-2000 04:14 PM

hey Arithor do you now where to get him ?

Arithor 11-16-2000 04:23 PM

Yep, Ik heb ook e-mail...
Ik heb BG2 al een keer uitgespeeld (ben nu bezig met een evil-party) en als je vragen hebt
kan je ze ook wel naar mij sturen.

"Uhm, don't want to bother you...but all this blood spurting around is actually mine" (or something like that)

You can get Jan Jansen at the Goverment District. Just go there and find the courtyards, you can't miss him. Hes got Versachii written all over him in that glowing outdoor wear.

Arithor 11-16-2000 04:46 PM

Aye, Jan Jansen walks around in the Goverment area in Athlaka...south/east of the Cowled wizard building...

So, the question has to be asked, who's the best Thief/Mage combo? Imoen or Jan? I'm leaning towards Imoen for sentimental reasons ;D

I'm leaning towards Jan for comedy reasons. And now, I'm happy to bring you - a Jan moment.


Jan: My brother, Elgar Buttercup, had skin the shade of charcoal, too. Well, technically it WAS charcoal. He died in a nasty fire, you see.

Viconia: You do love the sound of your own voice, don't you, gnome?

Jan: My own voice? Heartless wench! Do you not know? I am deaf. I have never heard the sound of my own voice. I read lips... (sob)... only lips...

Viconia: Deaf? Truly? In the Underdark the deaf are killed or used in pain threshold experiments.

Jan: I heard that! In fact, it reminds me of the time I was eaten by an avatar of Lolth. I was stuck inside her stomach with a miserable drow called Biffle Chump for days. Of course, I was forced to eat him. A matter of survival, you understand. Nothing personal. He tasted a bit like chicken.

Viconia: Armisael, how is it that you travel with such a buffoon?

Armisael: Truthfully, it all goes back to the time that Jan's cousin, Plooty Paladin-piper, got caught in a nasty flesh golem eating contest...

Jan: Aye, Plooty had a way of attracting golems. Brilliant, really. You start with a saucer of milk - golems are suckers for milk...

Viconia: I refuse to listen to this.

kupolu 11-16-2000 11:34 PM

LOL! That's hilarious. I just had him join my party, replacing that dumb-butt Yoshimo before he betrays me. But... he's a dual class! Dual classes suck! He's only a level 7 illusionist! I mean, come on! Is he used mainly for his theiving skills, or what?

omegadawn 11-16-2000 11:44 PM

Jan can rise to be a 13 lvl illusionist and 16 lvl thief. no spells over 6th level.

Armisael 11-16-2000 11:46 PM

No, he's a multiclass. He'll continue progressing in both illusionist and thief skills, which is very handy, believe me. He's a great character. I'd put him in the party over Imoen or Nalia any day.

Armisael 11-16-2000 11:48 PM

Oh. Of course, I wouldn't keep him along as my primary mage. That's Edwin's job.

Kwakkie 11-17-2000 06:47 AM

Darn, can't put him in my party. Me myself am a thief / ill. Too bad, cause he sounds great. Maybe I'll try him out for some adventures...

cleric 11-17-2000 11:06 AM

Do you now wat i think!

I doo Imoen and Jan Jansen in my party.

Nik the Cleric / Ice Mage .

Rikard 11-17-2000 02:10 PM

Armisael 11-17-2000 08:10 PM

Memnoch 11-17-2000 10:13 PM

Suul-Yinn 11-18-2000 07:34 AM

Si pero prefiero el castellano. Mis padres son espanoles pero yo naci en Inglaterra y ahora vivo en Escocia con mi esposa. Estoy pensando jugar como un Inquisator la proxima vez!!!
