I used NI to export Eldoth and edited his stats to be the ones you list above. If you don't mind restarting, put the below files in your characters folder and import him as your Charname. I can confirm that Poison Arrows DEFINITELY WORK! He starts with Longbow and Scimitar Proficiency.
@Eudaemonium: This makes not only me, but also Dorn very happy.
I was considering to restart anyway. I wanted to keep Monty as thief to re-play the tale of my bard from before, but overjoyed with the now working AI scripts, I didn't consider the ogrillions when setting him to "aggressive fighter".
KC is roleplaying and making his own story with PC. Who are we to judge how other people play their game. Plus, the non-recruitable Eldoth could just be a doppelganger.
I once did something similar, where I did a playthrough of the original BG1 as Shar-Teel. I downloaded her voice set from somewhere, but rather than use a keeper to edit her stats, I rolled endlessly until I had recreated them (including her 18/58 strength).
When I encountered the actual Shar-Teel later in the game, I just pretended not to notice her.
I just had Eldoth's line said in Dorn's accussation dialogue. Apprently, some parts of the game recognize I'm technically an NPC. Ajantis wouldn't attack me, but now I have high hopes for getting booted from my own party and fight Shar-Teel (who surely won't expect Eldoth's stat boost... yet still kill me, I guess). I'll also attempt to get Skie.
Exactly. I also got to hear a line from Garrick, half-through-Beregost after joining, that seems to be listed nowhere for him. @Eudaemonium looked through his lines, and this one is apparently not triggered by anything (it's not a banter directed at a party member, and it's not a rep reaction):
It amuses me he said that first thing when joining Eldoth of all people.
My next plan is to get Shar-Teel and set Montaron as party leader to hopefully see if I get attacked. (Does banter trigger speed use charname-charisma or party leader charisma?)
I let NPC-Eldoth join to get the journal entry, then dismissed and killed him. I went directly to the estate when arriving in the city and voila: ultimate con.
...hmmm. That got me thinking if it would be possible to emulate other NPCs just as well? I don't mean just take the name and stuff, but also get NPC reactions and quests. Next time do Tiax!
I was thinking that too. Once they are extracted, everyone can edit the stats and class and all with EEkeeper, so that's also a way to see some of the rare conversations (pain in the ass parties like Eldoth-Skie-Garrick, if Eldoth was keepered to something other than bard).
I think the other NPCs try to banter with Eldoth, too, charnames just don't use compliment/insult lines from what I see, so Eldoth doesn't reply. Or it's because they try to address Dorn, but I never noticed those unanswered lines in normal runs with him in the party.
For now, I abandon my plan to get Shar-Teel and instead try to find a way to replace Dorn with Garrick. That's borderline offensive and leaves with me without any real frontliners except Xzar and possibly Monty, but I really want to see if the triple banter triggers.

Hope this makes you happy.

I am stuck in a vicious loop of awesome, help?!

NOW WHO IS THE REAL CON MAN, HUH?
