Righty i know that after leveling up sumtimes you gain an ability. Mostly its charm animal - but i noticed that Minsc gained something else, i can't remember what it is because its been weeks since i played BG2 (POO!). But what i did notice is that it didn't stay there, and i know that it wasn't because of an item.

So basically my question is - Do rangers gain other abilities other than charm animal? (not worried about HLA as i don't have TOB yet) - Ooooh! and if possible does anyone know at what levels abilities are gained?

Just a question to see whether it applies to your case, but do you have Aerie in your party?

I used too! but then...ah...something large and red ate her! and then i took Jan instead [img]smile.gif[/img]

I am not familiar with Ranger class at all, but as far as it considers Minsc - he has Ranger's Rage (tm [img]smile.gif[/img] ) which is (IMHO) like the berserker's one but disables control of the enraged character, making him berserk indeed. Use with caution.

Aye i found that out - tis similar to the Berserker sword is it not? useful when fighting! but when all enemies are dead? RUN AWAY!!!

Minsc & Aerie Spoilers

Minsc has a Berserker Rage ability. When he makes Aerie his witch, he uses it whenever Aerie is near-death.

"I MUST DEFEND MY WITCH!" - Yes? - aye i've seen that in action, but it was something else, all i remember is that the icon was BLUE. (My how helpful i am!) [img]smile.gif[/img]

Having levelled up a bit, Minsc starts recieving some priest spells. Any chance you messed special abilities with priest spells? They are mostly blue, you see...

Any mod on?

Yes, that could be it. IIRC Minsc´s Berserker Rage ability has a red icon, not blue.

Aye i suppose that could be it, a few times Minsc has been drained in some way - and i know that when that happens you have to setup your spell book again....hmmm seems viable [img]smile.gif[/img]
