Yep, Charisma is not just about looks... it's leadership ability (percieved or otherwise), and selling yourself, so to speak.
I did Minsc differently... if you get him later, he IS higher level, but often times the computer has genertated crappy hit points for each level, so he is weak. I got him (and Dynaheir) when I was 2nd level (so was he), and we hauled relative butt to get Dynaheir. That way I could make sure when he levels-up that he gets at least a decent amount of hit points. I don't neccesarily go for max, but 2 or 3 HP from max is OK. I am playing a game where if I die I'm starting over from scratch, so some control of NPC hit points is my "DM" advantage. Right now he and Dynaheir are both around 7th level, and Minsc & Dynamo (as I call her) can take a couple blows with me having to panic.
BTW, he slayed some Gnoll fanny even at level two b/c they are his racial enemy. Most of the time they already had a couple arrows in them, tho. [img]smile.gif[/img]
