POLL: Assign NPC kits

Minsc is really a tough call, cause in my case I use him as a tank so I give him the best armor that I can find (usually plate or some heavy armor ) so no hide from the ranger skills. Then there is the clerics spell that a ranger get also, but Minsc "WIS" is the lowest stat, so the only think left is the fact that he is always looking to kick butt at evil and a Ranger is only Good, and then again why couldn't a barbarian be good. I think I might go for Minsc being Barbarian!!!

The Minsc kit mini mod essentially does that. But I'm probably a little biased about it.

 

The one I saw that turns him into a berserker turns him into a fighter. And it didn't read like it was really all that good of a change either.

 

Kagain could be a good barbarian as well.
I picked up wizard slayer for Khalid (no other viable option... Berserker? come on).
Faldorn is a shadow druid so IMHO Avenger suits her better than Totemic (although her special ability is close to this kit as Fel mentioned).
I can picture Safana as a bounty hunter (after all according to BG2 she was after Charname) Assassins should be limited to clearly evil characters.
Garrick is a Jester (just think about the "brave sir Garrick" song) Eldoth is not good enough with a sword to qualify as a Blade so I chose Skald.
Shar Teel is such a bad tempered ... euh lady that Berserker seems to be quite suitable.
No range weapons is a big drawback for Ajantis in BG1 so I kept the true class (Cavalier is a real liability when you don't have many HP).
I turned Alora and Skie into Swashbucklers (I can't imagine them backstabbing someone), I kept the true class for Imoen though because of her heritage and because she is bound to become a mage later on... She doesn't need an extra AC point that much.
Minsc is a real pain... why was he a ranger in the first place? He should be a barbarian or a berserker but I really felt bad when I SKed him so I'll pass.

 

@ Caradhras: That was exactly what I thought about Faldorn as well.
@ Western Palladin: I made Xan a sorcerer too. Suits him better. I like Xan And hated leaving him because he couldn't cast a freaking fireball. Or magic missile for that account.

Where can i find this Minsc minimod? Will it be compatible with TuTu as well?

 

Minsc Mini-Mod - http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG2/index_editors2.php or http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php/topic,19982.0.html
Yes, it's compatible with BG1Tutu.

 

I do not know most of the NPC of BG1, but I think Immy can be a swashbuckler (I can not picture her backstabbing), Minsc should definitely stay as a purest ranger, Avenger or Shapeshifter suits Faldorn.

 

I'm currently installing tutu and you can't make Kagain a berserker, only a kensai, wizard slayer, or barbarian. I find this odd because right after it asks about kagain it asks about khalid, and he has the berserker option.

 

Yeah see it turns him into a fighter. Not a Barbarian. That is a decent ammount of difference and It sounds like some of us would prefer to see him as a Barbarian. not transformed into a Kit'd fighter.

 

Actually, my Minsc kit mod changes Minsc's kit title[/I to "Berserker" (because Minsc repeatedly asserts that he is a berserker) and his class stays as a Ranger (because he also asserts that he is a ranger) My mod does disable Minsc's spell casting but that is to counter balance the improvements (there are many) to his rage and the fact he can now rage once per 4 levels. The blucher version isn't WEIDU and, yes, it changes him into a fighter. (You can't tell from the character creation screen, but the game engine actually considers Barbarian a fighter kit.) That was the entire reason I made my mod.

 

Just use shadowkeeper with Minsc, making him a Berserker or Barbarian. Either one fits better than a Ranger.

I picked Imoen as a Swashbuckler (as a matter of fact, there's a SoA mod that does this, I think it's called "SwashImoen" or something), Kagain as a Wizard Slayer (that kit just fits Dwarves), Ajantis as a Cavalier (above examples are perfect), Kivan as an Archer (there's a BGII mod bringing Kivan back, and he's an Archer there too), Faldorn is a Totemic Druid IMHO, Garrick is a Skald (epic heroes and such), and I made Eldoth a (albeit crappy) Jester.
