    I'm really quite lost...im not sure which spell to cast when they are confused, stunned, held, etc. It's like minsc is always getting confused and he has a crom faeyr, and if he hits someone, its basically automatic death. it really sucks..

    Have your cleric or mage cast dispel magic on them.

    I would suggest you read the descriptions of the spells and the items you have; there are many of each that help.

    The Cleric spell Chaotic Commands prevents many enchantments/charms including confusion, domination and psionics. The Shield of Harmony also prevents confusion and domination I believe. Either of these methods would help Minsc with his confusion problem.

    As for Fear spells (though you didn't actually ask about them in your post), the duration of the cleric spell Remove Fear is so long that it's worth memorizing a lot of these, and casting one before you go into any dark alleyways or whatever. Even if you haven't played the game before (so don't know what's coming), it'll probably be active when you need it.

    If you have keldorn, i'd opt for the dispel magic option. he doesn't need to cast the spell, he just does it, works faster that way. less of a chance that your character will kill another party member

    remove fear will work to actually dispel fear and also prevent fear, but chaos can only be prevented (not removed) by chaotic commands and dispelled only by dispel magic

    [​IMG] Hi,

    If you don't have a dispel spell handy :)

    Equip an bow character with some arrows of dispelling (they are available in the fletchers store in waukeens promenade (marked on map). They are expensive but very useful to pick up before you go to fetch Imoen. Minsc will only take a little damage from the arrow and only he will be effected by the dispel.

    Prevention is better though, if you are using crom with minsc have him dual wield with a sword in off hand that gives immunity to various types of mindspell, fear, charm, domination etc there are several in the game.
    As maldir said, cleric spell remove fear is great as well.

    There is also a very good leather armor, that gives immunity to confusion stuff that minsc can wear, available in adventurers mart, AC3 I think.

    Also a helm of charm protection as well.

    There is an amulet that improves saving throws versus spells that will help Minsc as well.

    Cheers,

    WittyNewt.

    Just to point out, a Cavalier can cast Remove Fear once per day per level. Also, because he's a Paladin, he can equip Carsomyr+5, which can cast Dispel Magic 3 times per day. Lilarcor gives protection against mind ailments, as does a small shield you can get from Guildmistress Busya in Trademeet (can't remember the name).
