Since I could not decide which character to import, instead of shooting for immortal god like power, I went with something far worse.

Meet Zach. The reluctant only slightly above average Bhaalspawn. He has traveled through Baldur's Gate. At creation, all of his stats were set at 9. After the books, he had 10/10/10/10/11/10. He is, with out a doubt, painfully average. In BG, his starting points went into quarterstaff and dagger. After finding a really nice dagger, he dedicated his life to the deadly art of pig-sticking.

In SoA, he is forced to wear light armors. Not strong enough for the heavy stuff. He started with 5 stars in daggers and I am still debating on having him dual weild, as he is just the average shmoe and most folks can't use both hands at once to save their life. He might take some lessons from his buddy Minsc, I have not decided yet.

Notable battles. Please note, I have his AI set to run away at the first sign of trouble [img]tongue.gif[/img]

He ran away from the Slaver Mob Ambush.

He ran away at high speed, with his trousers soaked at the sight of a Drow Priestess and her pet spider under the graveyard. Spiders are scary!

He ran away screaming for his Auntie Jaheira to save him at the very first sighting of vampires in the streets at night. He is scared of the dark, night fell, they were rushing to find an inn.

Seeing the Beastmaster in the Copper Coronet made him run away screaming.

Upon aquiring the Boots of Speed, his cowardice reached a whole new level.

So far, the only thing he has killed, the only battle he has taken part of, the only thing that made him fight for his own life...

Was Firkragg. Everybody got knocked out cold, everybody was beat up pretty badly, Keldorn was down to about 4 hit points. Firkragg was near death. Zach bravely pulled Pixie Prick from his boot and rushed in quickly and stabbed Firkragg right in his big red horny toe. He scored a critical and did an AMAZING 17 damage and got his first, and, so far, only kill. Mr. Big Red and Scary Himself.

Not to shabby for a level 10 fighter who has the morale of a stewed chicken. The whole party was around level 9 to 11.

He is Neutral Good. He is a lot of fun to play, watching his AI controlled actions is quite funny really, that script is a hoot. The moment something hostile shows up, he takes off running at full tilt in the boots of speed. I plan to place a few points in quarterstaves over time, and, possibly a few points in shortswords. He should have been called Brave Sir Robin of course, but, I really wanted to roleplay it a bit and give him a slightly more average name.

At the moment, he is totally shocked that Auntie Jaheira seems to be flirting with him.

The whole party.

Keldorn. Takes the lead.
Minsc. Keldorn's right hand man.
Jaheira. The Disrupter. And tank.
Anomen. Part time tank, part time healer.
Yoshimo. Rear archer, part time thief.
Zach. Usually found hiding behind the others. Sometimes gets a little to far ahead because of his foot speed, but, always, with out fail, runs backwards to hide behind others.

Playing with him has been a blast. I highly recommend playing a slightly above average character some time.
