    [​IMG] Ok, he's a 7/11 figther/cleric, how could he became a cleric with just 12 wisdom? When the rules says that you GOT TO have 16 from your first class stats and you NEED 17 to your new class? (cleric in this case).

    Anoman is in a noble family. His father has a lot of power. So they cheated.

    [​IMG] Because he was too thick to be a paladin. And in SoA he gets 16 wisdom in his quest.

    Maybe... he lost it and only just got it back!

    Because he was made that way? Quite a couple of the NPCs in BG-2 are *hacked* a bit, that applies to Anomen, to Imoen's paperdoll, Edwin's lore and so on.

    Almost all the characters are customed in some manner (often against standard rules), it makes them a bit more unique.
    @Ragusa: what' s wrong with Imoen paperdoll? It's the thief one, and that's ok since she started as a thief.

    Well, lore can be gained in some other way than levelling up... As long as he has too much and not too little ;)

    Maybe Bioware gave him 2 classes so he would stop nagging for being someone special.
    Or maybe he's just schysophrenic...

    from jokes to serious...they did it to make the npc's more exiting....made them so people would use them instead of creating all six chars....

    anyway......remember that most of them are experienced adventourers and that is explanaition enough....

    but they are hacked.....thats true ^_^

    Minsc doesn't have the stats to be a ranger, but he still is.

    As was mentioned, the NPCs cheat. What would be the bonuses from completing Anomen's quest if he had a higher wisdom to start with.

    Sometimes those 'cheats' are required for story progression, so there isn't really a problem since it makes the NPCs more unique and fits into the story.
