[Sir Mandorallen]

1.)Minsc (being a ranger) can cast priest spells WHEN he levels up. until then his special abilities have a charm person/animal thing that enemys can make saveing rolls agianst. If they get a good # on the roll you dont charm them but if the # sucks then you do. Minsc when he goes beserk gets all the benifits so on and so forth... but sometimes you lose controll over him for a small time.

2.)The acorns go to the dryad in the windspear hills. A area far to the east. The only way you can get there is accepting the fierkrag quest.

3.)Yes yoshimo should have stayed the same as he was but hey thats okay. your fighter will get better armor from enemies he vanqueshes and powerful swords by special quests. Equip him w/these and go forth on righteous butt-kicking

4.)AS FAR AS I KNOW you can drop the broken-sword. I do not believe it does anything.

5.)Jaheira is a druid and she gains spells as she levels up. she dosent learn them. the best thing for her are the gaultlents of orge power you pick up later and belm +2 that u also find later.

And You Are Welcome!
