I've finally beaten Shadows of Amn and am now starting Throne of Baal (yay!!!) Question: My team consists of a Cavalier (PC), Keldorn, Minsc, Jaheira, Imoen, and Edwin. I'd like for Sarevok to join my team, but I don't know who to replace. It's down to choosing between Keldorn or Minsc, as Sarevok is a fighter and the player who'll be booted should be of a duplicative function. I wanna keep Keldorn 'coz he's such a tank with the Vorpal, but I'd like to keep Minsc because of his ranger status. He's got vampires as racial enemies, is stealthier than Imoen, is pretty good with bows, can dual wield, and is funny as heck. Who should Sarevok replace --- Keldorn or Minsc?

First of all, how did you manage to take your party through SoA? Did you have the happy group patch, cuz Edwin and Minsc aren't exactly lovers? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

If the main sword you're using with Keldorn is Vorpal, might as well switch him up. If you have holy avenger though, it becomes a more difficult question. Do you?

I would say get rid of Minsc... However, he's Good Aligned, as are you... You don't actually need to take Sarevok. Also, Imoen sucks so you can ditch her. Pick up Jan Janson!

(Picks up ugly little gnome, sticks himin a latrine.) Keep Imoen, she's by far the better mage and an equivalent thief. Also, you can do without Sarevok, he glares too much.

Jan is actually a better thief than Imoen; because he levels as a thief, and you can effect where his proficencies go without cheating.
But I do agree with Imoen being a better mage than Jan; because she levels only in the mage class, and all her XP is devoted purely to it.

Were I forced to choose between them, i`d go for Jan- i`m a backstabber [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'd ignore saverok and drop edwin, pick up jan. You got enough tanks between you and minsc keldorn and jahiera, in pinch, and that will give you the best thief and between jan and imoen you'll have a edwin.

Ooooo, do I sense another Imoen v Jan *ahem* "debate"

In corner #1, Attalus, Galadria and Kaltia!

In corner #2, Sir E, Grammar, and joining them, True_Moose, because Jan can kick Imoen's behind any day! (assuming he can reach that high) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Pooh, as is often said, Jan isn't a candle to Immy in the mage department. He is dualled, has a low INT, and just an illusionist, to boot. He won't get the 10th level spells in time, especially in this case, where she finished BGII so is higher and better-equipped then JJ would be if summoned in. Not to speak of having to put up with his puerile humor. Bleah.

I think you should get rid of Minsc.

Come on this is a no brainer, why are you carrying around 2 paladins, dump Keldorn and give your Cavalier Carsomyr if he doesn't already have it. If you want another mage instead of Edwin that is also a no brainer, take Nalia. Since she is a dual classed thief/mage she can wear elven chainmail and still cast spells. So your party would look like this:

PC(Cavalier)
Sarevok
Minsc
Jaheira
Nalia
Imoen

Looks good to me. By the way i would start giving Sarevok proficincies in Halberd when you start leveling up.
