[Sir Kenyth]

I've been wondering if anyone else has tried this. I've been using shadowkeeper to modify the party a little differently than most. Just tweaking, mind you. Mostly things that should have been done when they were created. For one thing, we all know Minsc is really a Berserker, not a Ranger. They just didn't have a Beserker class in BG1, so they improvised. Why give up precious levels to put him in a class he doesn't really fit? I don't think his Wisdom is even high enough to BE a Ranger. He also has a specialization wasted on Mace? Why? I gave him the proficiencies I gave him in BG1. Primarily, I shifted attribute points from unimportant stats to stats where they would make a difference. I mean, one or two more CN points off of Aeries already low score won't hurt, but the same two points in wisdom or intelligence means better spells! Beginning spells are another point. What mage worth their salt doesn't know magic missile? It's nearly always the first one learned! Another thing I like to do is try some of the different classes by changing some group members to other classes that fit their personna. Jaheiras personality could fit the Avenger druid class if you so wished. Yoshimo could fit the swashbuckler type if you preferred. I think Minsc fits the berserk fighter type best. If you kept Imoen as a theif in BG1 you may wish to keep her one in BG2 also. This utility is great for making a party that fits your idea of what they should be! A little extra replayability so to say.
