Baldur’s Gate : characters

Party characters, their stats and where to find them

Stats: Str: 8 / Dex: 19 / Con: 12 / Int: 14 / Wis: 7 / Chr: 10
Found around: Baldur’s Gate town, Hall of Wonders
Thoughts: Good dexterity for a thief, but unless you want and all rogue party, there are better options.

Ajanti, lawful-good Human paladin
Stats: Str: 17 / Dex: 13 / Con: 16 / Int: 12 / Wis: 13 / Chr: 17
Found around: area 1400, near anghests
Thoughts: Paladins are always useful, but I never tried him.

Branwen, true-neutral Human cleric (fm)
Stats: Str: 13 / Dex: 16 / Con: 15 / Int: 9 / Wis: 16 / Chr: 13
Found around: Carnival
Thoughts: Never leave the Inn without a healer!

Coran, chaotic-good Elf ranger
Stats: Str: 14 / Dex: 20 / Con: 12 / Int: 14 / Wis: 9 / Chr: 16
Found around: Cloakwood (area)
Thoughts: Wants help killing a wyvern. Check the dexterity! If Kivan wasn’t so strong I would definately have had this guy in the group. Even considered dropping Branwen for a chicken party… (free range – 3 rangers … Yes? )

Dynaheir, lawful good Human Invoker (fm)
Stats: Str: 11 / Dex: 13 / Con: 16 / Int: 17 / Wis: 15 / Chr: 12
Found around: the gnoll fortress
Thoughts: excellent mage, good potential as levels rise. Specialist mages get extra spells.

Found around: Cloakwood (area 1600)

Minsc, neutral-good Human ranger
Stats: Str: 18/⁹³ / Dex: 15 / Con: 15 / Int: 8 / Wis: 6 / Chr: 9
Found around: Nashkel
Thoughts:One of the best Characters – Strong as an ox, nutty as a fruit cake…
With a Wisdom of just 6 (due to belt round the head) I can’t figure why he’s allowed spell casting!
Special power: Berserker

Montaron, neutral-evil Halfight fighter
Stats: Str: 16 / Dex: 17 / Con: 15 / Int: 12 / Wis: 13 / Chr: 9

Found around: the lighthouse (area 3600)
Thoughts: Sultry voice! Good second thief to Imoen. If you use the Tome of Intelligence (+1) she is able to dual class to a Mage.

Shar-Teel, chaotic-evil Human fighter (fm)
Stats: Str: 18/⁵⁸ / Dex: 17 / Con: 9 / Int: 14 / Wis: 7 / Chr: 11

Stats: Str: 11 / Dex: 18 / Con: 15 / Int: 15 / Wis: 8 / Chr: 13
Found around: the Silvershield estate, Baldur’s Gate town

Stats: Str: 9 / Dex: 10 / Con: 16 / Int: 10 / Wis: 13 / Chr: 9
Found around: Baldur’s Gate town, by the Flaming Fists
Thoughts:Meglomaniac with pathetic stats! Great voices mind
Special power: Summon Ghast

Viconia, neutral-evil Drow cleric (fm)
Stats: Str: 10 / Dex: 19 / Con: 8 / Int: 16 / Wis: 15 / Chr: 14
Found around: Peldvale
Thoughts:She wasn’t powerful enough for my party which is a shame, as my 1/2 drow character was definately taken by this young Priestess of Shar, the Night Goddess! Rescued her from the bigoted Flaming Fist soldier and took her to a safe haven in Beregost.
Special power: 50% magic resistance. (Should increase with level rises!)

Xan, lawful-neutral Elf enchanter
Stats: Str: 13 / Dex: 16 / Con: 7 / Int: 17 / Wis: 14 / Chr: 16
Found around: Nashkel mines
Thoughts:A waste of time – unable to cast many combat spells. Cowardly. Whines constantly. Cool Moonblade sword, but only usable by him.

Xzar, chaotic-evil Human necromancer
Stats: Str: 14 / Dex: 16 / Con: 10 / Int: 17 / Wis: 16 / Chr: 10
Found around: the outside of Candlekeep
Thoughts: Died real fast, real early! – Carries scrolls of Chill Touch & Larloch’s Minor Drain. With a Tome of Dexterity (+1) he should be able to dual class to a Thief

Yeslick, lawful-good Dwarf fighter-cleric
Stats: Str: 15 / Dex: 12 / Con: 17 / Int: 7 / Wis: 16 / Chr: 10
Found around: level 2 of the Cloakwood mines (area 1802)

Special power: Dispel Magic
