Yep I am with you Donkeywan....drop Yoshimo what a waste of space.

**************Possible spoiler*************


If you are worried about a thief, you can ditch Aerie when Imoen comes back

Problem: Aerie has memorized hella-spells. I mean it, she's loaded, and she's just entering the very nub of her beginning potential. She's basically a powerhouse of offensive, defensive, and mage-hindering magic. I'd hate to remove her. Imoen is ok, but to be honest, she whines alot. (?)

Note to consider: I got gloves to get Keldorn up to 18/00...

Drop Minsc for Keldorn. You got a ranger "Valygar", Keldorn can pick up Minsc's 2-H-Sword and later use Corsamyr. Minsc has only 2 quick weapon slots

Nobody tells me what to do, not even me !

Dropping Minsc is like dropping my uncle joe. I've known him forever, and even though he's not a real uncle, he might as well be

Besides, I'd miss Boo and related dialogue too much. Nothing makes me grin more than listening to Minsc's simple natured dialogue after a successful quest. Oh, and he's protecting a new witch, remember. I know its just a video game, but I'd be really backstabbing the poor fellow in the back if I dumped him now.

Looks like I may be dumping the V-man for Keldorn. Its the only character I have the least amount of need for. Well, 'cept for Yoshi. I could off him, technically. But then it would leave me in the roll of thief (oi.)

"Magic is good, but now Minsc is in charge! Swords for everyone!"

No no ... the guy is soft in the head ! And is pretty usless to boot. I got no problem with anyone playing him, but when someone asks for advice I say Minsc belongs in a home for the mentally impaired and not in the dangerous environs of adventuring.

Yeah, he's pretty dense. But when I see him hasted/aided/blessed/chanted/etc'd and hitting the front line of baddies, then seeing the baddies explode into neat chunks one after the other, I still see a little semblence of potential. Granted, he's not much use for much else, but hey, I'm a softy at heart. Maybe Minsc is the logical choice. But then again, I rule with my heart. Good point though, I'll have to consider it.

As of right now, I think the V-man still gets my vote for the boot.

This discussion is pretty cool. Any other opinions/takers?

A update/bump, depending on wheter someone thinks I'm horribly wrong.

Here's what I've come to conclude:
1) Minsc/Valygar are the logical choices to drop. Yoshi is my go-to thief, and I'm gonna need that until I get better options in that area. Imoen nonwithstanding. I dont want to drop Minsc. I just dont have the heart to.

2)Keldorn kicks ass. What can I say, he does. Valygar is a great character, but when it comes down to the final equation Keldorn is better in a fight, obviously.

So when I get home from work, I'm droppin Valygar for Keldorn. If need be, I can always return to his cabin to pick him up later.

Another thing to consider: this sorta frees up minsc for me so I can try out some other combat types. I recently aquired "the ripper" longbow and want to try it out with him.

bump/update again.

I just wanted to say that I made the right call, and thanks everyone.

The K-man just kicks total ass. Crossbow is nice touch. Go Mr. Paladin Go!
