NPC Specific Items - Good or Bad?

Originally posted by trux: I can't remember what Valygar's special item is (isn't it armor or something?) but I never really use him anyway. I remember that I usually change his armor for something better whenever doing the Planar Sphere quest. Keldorn's sword (Hallowed Redemer) serves him fine until you get the Carsoymr or Holy Avenger. Haer'Dalis' little short swords SUCK! Haer'dalis SUCKS! If you're gonna keep him at least give him some new swords. Edwin's necklace, though it has no stats and appears to do nothing actually gives him an extra spell memorization slot per level. Imoen's belt - well, no one knows what this does but it disappears on her return so it doesn't matter. Nalia's ring is good. Fire resistance and stuff. Jan's got lots of nifty little things, so you shouldn't feel too bad about changing his bracers to bracers of defense or something else.

Let's not forget good ol' Boo, who gives Minsc the ability to go bezerk
