Thanks to all for input.

I went in peace to the camp [carefully picking dialogue - including the meet with Tazok], but ended up fighting Raemon and gang - I assumed a hard fight - so Ajantis gulped a strength potion and Minsc a speed potion for the win. I did a repeat in the Wyvern cave since I'm still using basic weapons!

When I was researching the dudlyfix, I read that it put a set of Gauntlets of Weapon Expertise in the chest with the letters. This way, one wouldn't have to go though the trouble of killing Tazok 2x [I guess people assumed that he was "Resurrected" by his peers, so they felt it okay to whack him for the gauntlets in that strange roundabout way.]

Range weapons note:
I'm specializing Ajantis in missile {slings/crossbows} and Minsc in axe {throwing axes.}

Looks like this by level 9:
Ajantis
Large Sword **
Bow *
Blunt ** (9)
Missile ** (3)(6)

Minsc
Large Sword **
Bow *
Blunt ** (9)
Axe ** (3)(6)

I'll give Ajantis a +2 blunt weapon and Minsc a +1 blunt weapon -- who will also be wearing the Gauntlets of Weapon Expertise -- so a +1 should be fine.

Does anyone give NPC Ajantis the strength and/or constitution tomes instead of PC? I'm tempted to give him both since he's a tank! Since its BG1 only, my 18/53 strength and 18 constitution seem sufficient for a back row bower/arcane user. Incidentally, when dual class time comes: I'm dueling to illusionist and Imoen to enchanter. This should keep it interesting...challenging.
