But who says an Assassin couldn't be sent to guard Xzar and dispose of him afterward. =P
I see it as a balance between the paired NPCs. Minsc is a fighter class with an extra ability, paired with Dynaheir (who can dual to cleric with a tome), therefore Montaron has the "extra" of also being a thief, yet he's still a fighter class, paired with Xzar (who can also dual to cleric with a tome). From the roleplay logic, I can see how an assassin makes a good bodyguard (I play my own assassin as Edwin's bodyguard), but for the game balance, it would be wrong and take a lot frontline power from an early evil party. Monty needs the fighter side to balance Xzar's pitiful HP.
Broadsword...? I was always under the impression that Khalid was the fastest dart user on the Sword Coast. Though his reloading takes quite some time from what I've heard.

That's just what she tells Charname in BG2 so he doesn't feel bad.
Monty should be a multiclass/multikit Wizard slayer
Why do you hate Monty? What did he ever do to you?

Often in my tutu/bgt games I would change imoen to a blade We had to pick up monty or some other rogue or my charname had to be a rogue but it worked well, didn't even seem to break the story much as she very early on talks about pick pocketing the monks at candlekeep and bards do pickpocket to the exception of other thief skills ...
Ajantis- Either as a Paladin/Inquisitor or I think it would be interesting if he was changed to a Lawful Neutral Priest of Helm Branwen-Berserker fighter dueled to Priest Coran- Bard Blade still gets 3* in longbows or Swashbukler with 3* in longbows and Charm person special ability Eldorth-Bard Jester Faldorn-Avanger Garrick- Skald Imoen-Vanilla bard (better fit of her alignment and her growing up at Candlekeep) Khalid- Wizard Slayer or Fighter/Mage Multiclass Kivan-Archer Minsc-Barbarian with charm animal special ability Montaron-multiclass with multikit wizard slayer/ assassin makes him very powerful, I know, but its Monty Safana- Given she grew up as a noble she should be a Bard blade or a swashbukler with charm person special ability Skie- Shadowdancer Rasaad- Sun Soul Monk Xan-Keep the same but give him an xtra * in swords and a draw on holy might special abilty Yeslick- dwarven Defender sounds good
Some of the following will be illegal and/or not in the game.
Ajantis: Cavalier Alora: As-Is (or new Burglar kit) Branwen: Fighter/Cleric dual, or specialty Battlepriest of Tempus kit Coran: Fighter/Bounty Hunter (Illegal) Dynaheir: Sorcerer Edwin: As-Is (or special Red Wizard kit) Eldoth: Jester, or a new Charlatan kit Faldorn: Avenger Garrick: Bard (As-Is: I don't feel any of the kits really fit him) Imoen: Bard (Maybe give her a kit in BG2) Jaheira: As-Is Kagain: Fighter (or new Mercenary kit) Khalid: Fighter/Mage Kivan: Stalker (As good as he is with a bow, I think Stalker fits his personality and story better) Minsc: As-Is (or 'Rashemar Ranger' kit). Montaron: Fighter/Assassin (Illegal) Quayle; As-Is Rasaad: Sun Soul Monk Safana: Swashbuckler Shar-Teel: Fighter (or some kind of new Amazon kit) Skie: Shadowdancer Tiax: As-Is, or Thief/Priest of Cyric (Illegal, obviously) Viconia: As-Is (or special Nightcloak of Shar kit) Xan: Enchanter (Give him one + in Single-Weapon Style) Xzar: As-Is Yeslick: Dwarven Defender/Cleric (Illegal)
I dont get the reasoning behind "Kivan is good with a bow, therefore he should be an archer" Cant he just be ranger who is a good archer? Minsc is also definately a ranger, but a special one. I think the classes should be more broadly defined than what some say here. "Monty is too evil to be a thief"? come on....
Agreed about Kivan. People label him as archer because he has that portrait, but with Coran around, I see no need to give anyone an Archer kit. It would be silly to have an official Archer and Coran is still a better archer...
Warrior Ajantis - Cavalier! Or I guess you could keep him a regular Paladin. Either way, he's still a bro. Khalid - Fighter/Mage. Shar-Teel - Maybe Wizard Slayer? I don't know, all I know is that her past sucked and that she hates the Flaming Fist. I want to see more of her backstory!
Wizard Xan - Turn him into a Fighter/Mage and strongify him, or something, the Moonblade would make more sense, then, and it might actually give me a reason to hit "L" to reload when he "accidentally" gets petrified. "BRO I THOUGHT YOU WERE TRYING TO DRAIN TANK LIKE IN WOW SORRY"
Priest Faldorn - Avenger?
Rogue Garrick - A Jester, if anything. I love that guy! Safana - Swashbuckler, since she were on pirate ships an' what-not. Either way, she's going to steal my heart. Skie - A Bounty Hunter with face-paint and dual serrated short swords. Keep as Thief.
Multi-Class Coran - Carrion for Shar-Teel's pet vulture, Velva the Warrior. Philandering, dead-beat pig. Montaron - Assassin. Fighter/Thief might still work, though. Either/or!
