New Party dilema :(

GaNoN

I have this party atm:
Me: Pure thief
Imoen: Dualed her to mage at lvl 5 (My trap finder, lvl 100 skill)
Minsc: Op guy wih Drizz's scimitars
Dorn: Very strong ¬¬
Viconia: Healer
Neera: Just a sexy mage who wants to date me;)


Well i came accross with Coran and his amazin 20 dex and pips in bow are too good to be ignored.

I dont know if i should change him for one of my current party members. I would like to know ppls opinion. ty:)

Kick out Imoen!

I like coran but he never seems to fit in my parties even with his illegal scores

Lose Dorn. Is your thief melee or ranged? And grab Dorn back when you unlock baldurs gate city and finish his quest, then lose him again.

Coran is one of the strongest NPC of BG1. Give him Drizzt's Chain Mail, the Dead shot +2, Varascona, The dale's protector and the big fisted belt and he can easily SOLOing the game. I think you'll want retain Dorn who probably is the strongest NPC.

Nifft

Kick out all the men in your group except Coran, and compete with him for the affection of the remaining chicks.

(You probably need the BG1NPC banter mod to have this actually work.)

Kind of have to agree, kick Imoen to the curb. Unless you are trying to romance her.

Imoen is the one to swap out strictly according to class skills. But in a game that I chose to bring her along from the start it's always tough for me to ditch her.

I think you have to go, actually... ;P No wait, of course not...

You probably get away with cutting Minsc or Dorn lose. If you've got Viconia in ankheg armor as a tank, you can get by with one other frontliner (i.e., here a meleeing damage-dealer).

Or you could try waiting until the next game to add both Kivan and Coran, the two best bowmen in the game. They're a devastating duo.

This may seem "illegal" but, as I have pointed out in other threads, perhaps he just came across a tome of Dexterity before he met you. Same with Korgan and his constitution. If you can get 20 con/dex with a dwarf/elf PC, why can't they?

Edit: if you want Coran OP, I would kick Imoen. Her con is useful, but as an archer it shouldn't really matter. And yes, his third pip plus elf for extra THAC0 make him pretty awesome. If you give him the tome of Dex for a further +1, he gets even more ridiculous

Ty for the answers some were pretty funny

U misunderstand me, I wasn't antagonizing his character or ability scores, I was just saying that even with his superior abilities I prefer other npcs. I do things like make alora a fighter thief with Shadowkeeper so I have no qualms with uber abilities

Where did he come across that tome of Long Bow Mastery?

I hardly think changing an NPC to a different, legal class is an uber anything. I do it all the time in BG1 and BG2, and I long for the day level1npcs is updated for BG:EE.

I am not really fond Imoen
I would dump her and add Coran
