Suggestion for Party with Edwin

Post by equilibrium »

Currently, my party has Minsc, Korgan, Edwin, Jan, and Jaheria and my PC is a Mage. I know that Minsc and Edwin will have a fight eventually so I want to have replace Minsc with another fighter. But it seems all the good fighters (like Keldorn) will be against Edwin at last. But I do want to have Edwin in the party.

So any suggestions?

I don't think that Keldorn actually has a fight with Edwin. Either way, there is an evil fighter available in ToB. A welcome alternative to a fighter type character (and in my opinion the best other option) is Haer' Dalis. His class can be easily changed to suit any station that you may encounter. He can be your tank, your offensive fighter, your archer or even another mage, maybe one dedicated to buffing up the party.

You can also try Anomen. Though many people find him annoying, he is a good fighter who doesn't fight with Edwin. Same goes for Mazzy, who has some abilities of a Paladin.

Take Anomen and turn him evil ......... baaahahaha!

Seriously though with your party having only Jaheira for divine casting (who is a druid and will be stuck on L13 for ever) Anomen would be a good fit as a tank/buffer.

Chrenshinibon is correct on Haer'Dilas though. Blade is an increadibly flexible kit and Haer gets a nice little cheated bonus thanks to bioware not to mention his "special equipment".

If Keldorn doesn't fight with Edwin, then it definitely goes to Keldorn. Carsomyr shall be used. I was thinking about Mazzy previously, but her weapon proficiencies made me wondering whether she was the choice.

I agree, you should take Keldorn, in the end of SoA and in ToB he can be a pain in the ass for opponents

There isn't always fight between Minsc and Edwin, it depends upon some dialogue choices you make, I never experienced this fight, but I had the two of them in my party many times.
