    He just might give Minsc hidden INT and WIS bonuses.

    Boo gives Minsk stability, which his own mind isn't able to maintain, if left to himself ?

    I've heard it said in other threads that it is Boo that enables Minsc to Berserk once per day. If you have Shadowkeeper you could find out for sure. The same thing goes for Edwin's Amulet -- though it doesn't say so, it is that amulet that allows him the extra spell slots he has above and beyond those of a regular Specialist Mage.

    [​IMG] You could always export the items with NI or Sk, if you dare. And open them up on IeeP, and editing program just to see what they do.

    Ever thought how can Minsc cast spells or even be a ranger with his stats... yeah, Boo. He is the brain of the two.

    Couldn't have said it better :)
    I love Boo and of course he's sort of a "replacemnt" for minsc's brain since his doesn't work so well :D

    @ArrynMorgerin - The reason that Minsc can be a ranger with all those sucky stats is because in BG1 when he and Dynahier were ambushed and he hitted his head he went mad and started to talk to his hampster and lost several points of ability.

    I don't know, but the result when I attempted to move Boo to another slot was funny.

    Boo does nothing!

    Edwins Amulet gives him +2 spells in every level of spells (Eg lvl 1 spells being magic missile and lvl 3 being fireball and such.)

    Nalias Ring gives her save bonuses to Death, wands, petrification, breath weapons, spell bonus. It also gives her fire resistance and bonus armour against all weapons.

    I dont think removing the items would do anything and the charactors are just made to have extra abilities.
    The items are just a reason to why the cahractor gets better abilities; why you would choose to use an NPC than creating an equivelant char with better stats.

    As for Minsc I think the death of his witch made him able to use beserker rage (or could he do this in the first one)
