All-Nutball run. Last slot?

I’m thinking of doing an all-weirdo run of BGEE. That means collecting the strangest personalities and taking them to Sarevok’s dinner party!

I’ve got it mostly figured out, except for the last slot. So far I have:
* Minsc
* Montaron
* Xzar
* Tiax

Who would you propose for the last slot? Base your decision on personality ONLY! Also, I’ll be using the BG1 NPC Project mod.

Bonus question: would you make any changes to the four I’ve selected so far or do you approve?

    Quayle and switch out Monty for Baeloth.

    Baeloth has a big theatrical personality, true. I don’t find him all that wacky, though. Hmmm. Could be fun though.

    I would consider Xan (depressed, fatalistic) and Shar-Teel (misandrist, anger issues, mummy issues, daddy issues) as suitable personalities for such a group.

    Montaron does not really make the cut for me - nasty and murderous, sure, but not quite nutball.

    I agree with @Very_BigSword, Monteron doesn't strike me as being wacky/strange, and Shar Teel and Xan are good choices as well

    How about Alora?
    She's a bit of an oddball with her happy happy joy joy ect. (and she winds Xan up as well)

    Three nays for Monty? I may have to toss him, then. Hopefully Xzar won't be too unhappy.

    Meanwhile, Xan and Xzar together? This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

    Does anyone know if level 1 npcs has banter between the couples and other npc(s) in the group? Are you missing any content if you kill dynhaeri and take only minsc?

    Good question. Do I lose out on cool Xzar stuff without Monty?

    I think my CHARNAME this run is going to be a gnome zerk. Or maybe a F/Ill

    Interesting. If taking Alora a zerk would suit, or F/I if using Shar Teel.

    Because Alora is not available until late Montaron could stay for a while. Or Quayle for the lolz.

    Xzar still has his quests without Monty in BGNPC, but you will miss out on a couple of fights/murders that Monty is involved in when he's around.

    May have to be:
    Jester, Minsc, Tiax, Xzar, Alora, Xan. I’d use the options to start Alora in Gullykin and Tiax in Beregost. Though swapping out Xan for Sharty dualed to a backstabbing thief would be fun.

    Now if only BGEE 2.5 would officially launch!

    Or maybe the dual bastard sword wielding female gnome Zerker. Decisions

    I love daggers in BG1, but really wish their was some magical throwing options. I could try a mod I guess? I once Keepered a Wild Mage to have 2 pips in Dagger and 3 in DW as an off the wall choice, and it was rather fun. Just a crazy char-name option!

    How do you start Alora in Gullykin?

    BGNPC Project. CD Tweaks also allows one to change starting points of some other NPC's as well.

    BGNPC project is the only mod I know with a returning throwing dagger and the OP is running this mod. But it involves recruiting Kivan and the nutballs have already been gathered so that is a tough call. Dagger Barbi will do fine without magic throwing knives I'm sure, the non-magic ones are pretty strong regardless and there is always melee...

    Yeah, that was the comforting aspect, Dagger of Venom is a nasty weapon, among the best options in melee in BG1.
