Any possibility of a GreatSword, +1 or a Master Work Great Sword? Aside from that, Minsc already has a helmet, short sword and dagger. I think he'll add a long sword (in keeping with swords for everyone!) and sell his original armor (think it was chain). If there is enough for a healing potion (after +1GS above), he'll want one.
And his mathematical skills are poor, so he'll probably be taken advantage of by shopkeep unless Alora/Imoen show goodness and remind the shopkeep that it's probably unwise to overly anger one who is so huge.
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, watch it! I'm HUGE!"
I never remember what edition had what. My guess is a +2 is too much to ask for, if they even had such an animal. Is there a helm of infravision? That would be a nice thing to add in a real setting where being without infra is bad.
what can be found of magical quality? If I remember right this is just a small little town in a swamp? Well Brawen will be looking for Splint mail (if they have magical, and she can afford it, great!) also a few more slingstones, and some potions if she has gold left over.
Third level? Then please double the thief scores I gave you, which'd make 30 in climb, 30 in find/remove traps, and 60 in open locks. My next dungeon shall be Fort Knox.
So has Xan successfully memorised all the spells that we found in the various spell books and scrolls on the way? Excluding the ones he can't because of opposition schools, of course. Also hooray! Xan is no longer likely to be dropped by a kitten. No, it will take a full-blown housecat to kill him now!
@LadyRhian I think it would be fun to have an element of random chance in my spell selection. Oh, another question, can I find any mage gear in this small town, scrolls and so forth?
(If you just want to cast Find Familliar, we can do that, too.)
I had completely forgotten about familiars! Probably because it doesn't appear in a game Xan is in. Let's see, from his alignment he would get a...ferret? Hm. Doesn't seem very Xan-like, but I suppose it could work. I think it would be fun RPing the two of them talking.
Xan is not a good candidate to have a familiar. He already has sickly low CON. If his familiar dies, he loses another point permanently.
On the other hand he needs all the bonus HP he can get and will try and keep his familiar safe and out of combat (well, relatively safe of course, after all we are all doomed)
@Communard Actually, you roll dice. I rolled for you and got... a special familliar. A Brownie. And it fails its save. It pumps your dex up to 18, you get +2 to all saving throws and are never surprised. I have to roll its hit points...
Oh, sweet! (Uh, I mean...our deaths are inevitable) http://www.dotd.com/mm/MM00024.htm Xan is definitely buying some milk in town in that case. I'm not sure exactly how the spell is fluffed, but isn't it a bit, uh, unethical for me to enslave a member of a sentient race like this?
Also @mlnevese I was just thinking that making her super cheery would be a perfect foil for Xan!
He gives you an extra 3 hp, and has spells he can use on your behalf. And it's not really enslavement. This guy wants to work with you (actually, you aren't sure it's a he). The Brownie has long brown hair and surprisingly brilliant blue eyes. No facial hair. It wears clothing of green and brown linen interwoven with little golden threads.
Xan will buy some bottles of milk and give one to the brownie immediately after the ritual. When the party next sees him, there is a brownie riding on his shoulder. "Greetings, comrades. I thought it was time I expanded my study of magecraft and summoned myself a familiar to aid in our endeavours. The results were rather unexpected but-" He is interrupted by the tiny creature, who leaps from his shoulder and with astonishing agility rolls to a standing position with his arms outstretched. "Oh boy, new boon companions! Kimble's the name. Ol' misery-guts here put out a call for help and how could I refuse? He clearly needs someone to put a smile on his face and a song in his heart! I just know we'll be the best of friends." Xan simply sighs and rolls his eyes.

@LadyRhian ahh, OK, got it.
