The confusion between Coran and Kivan is understandable, as the two are so similar that, in my opinion, they were originally the same character (a characteristic not shared by Tarnesh and Tranzig, however).

DA FACTS:

Kivan has ** in Bow. This is his maximum, as he is a Ranger.
Coran has *** in Bow. This is above the maximum, as Multiclassed Fighters cannot legally place more than 2 stars in a weapon.

Coran and Kivan are both full-blooded Elves.

Kivan has 8 Charisma and gets what's arguably the best portrait in BG1.
Coran has 16 Charisma and gets the ugliest sicko ever thrown out of the Undercellar.

Coran and Kivan BOTH are kickass warriors. I can't really recommend either of them for the Main Tank slot, as neither of them has a strong CON, but if you're looking for someone to kick ass and take names with a Longbow and a 2-handed weapon, you've come to the right place.
