| people who saw an old version asking about things that are already in the |
| newer versions. Well, maybe there are worse things, but it IS annoying! |
| |
| The purpose of this FAQ is to provide a quick reference on all the NPC's in |
| the game, as well as giving all the backstories on each and every NPC. I |
| gave this its own FAQ because my Baldur's Gate Walkthrough is getting rather |
| large! |

| This FAQ looks best in Courier New at about 9 points. |

NPC Information
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unless it is otherwise mentioned, any NPC you say "no" to (or remove later) will
stay put wherever you put them. To see the X,Y coordinate of where you are,
press "L". The top left of any map is (x 0 y 0).

Special Abilities are those abilities that that character intrinsicly has. Some
of them they have before they join you, others they gain later.

Note: If you turn both Khalid and Jaheira down in the FAI, you can't ever get
them to join.

Pairs: (you can't have one without the other)
Khalid -- Jaheira
Xzar -- Montaron
Minsc -- Dynaheir
Eldoth -- Skie
Note: To get one of these in the pair without the other, simply send the other
person into a building (the person you want to get rid of), and then
reform the party to kick them out. This way they can't come up to you
and talk to you.

Here's the party I like:

You -- as a Lawful Good Fighter
Kivan -- give him a Composite Long Bow +1, or the Long Bow of Marksmanship,
and the Bracers of Archery; and you have a really effective
sniper.
Minsc -- a very good warrior
Dynaheir -- a good mage, plus if you get her at the right level, she starts
with Fireball.
Yeslick -- a good cleric (you could also sub in Branwen or Viconia here)
Safana -- you need a thief, and I like Safana. (you can also sub in Imoen
here)

And here are some interesting party combinations:

Have Minsc, Dynaheir and Edwin in the same party. Since Edwin wants to kill
Dynaheir, Minsc gets all surly and protective.

Viconia and Kivan have a love-hate relationship, and also Viconia is very
dimissive about Xan.

Put Yeslick and Kagain together to see just how different two Dwarves can be.
Yeslick DESPISES Kagain.

Safana and Coran. Coran will flirt shamelessly with Safana, and she will
rebuff his every attempt, quite humorously.

Quayle and Tiax. These two really don't like each other. Plus they're
fairly amusing on their own.

NPC List
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now the BIG LIST of every NPC complete with a description, and where they
are. This list is sorted by alignment, Good first, then Neutral, and Evil last.
It is even further sorted by Lawful, Neutral, and Chaotic; that is, the Lawful
Good is displayed first, in alphabetical order, then the Neutral Good, then
the Chaotic Good, and so forth.

- Ajantis 17 13 16 12 13 17 Human Paladin Lawful Good
Special Abilities: Lay on Hands, Detect Evil, Protection from Evil
Where he is: Farm N of Friendly Arm Inn (x 1572 y 3139)

Short: Ajantis is a simple person, all he wants to do is vanquish evil.

Long: Ajantis is a squire-paladin who is part of the Order of the Most
Radiant Heart based in the savage north. He is a holy warrior who
worships the power of Helm. Ajantis belongs to the noble family of
Ilvastarr in Waterdeep, he keeps in touch with his family regularly
and has deep respect for his parents. At an early age Ajantis became
enamored with the idea of serving lord Helm as one of his paladins.
To this end he studied hard at the church of Helm and practiced his
sword skill with such luminaries as Myrmith Splendon. An
exceptionally gifted individual, his hard work and perseverance
eventually paid off. In a dream he was told by Helm that he was
worthy to serve under him. Ajantis went to the next joust held by the
Order of the Most Radiant Heart.

Grade: B+
A must have for any Good-Aligned party, as he is a decent fighter
with good stats, and has the Paladin abilities as well. Most useful
is the Lay On Hands, which gives you another Healer (if not as
useful as a Cleric, it still comes in handy in a tight spot).

- Dynaheir 11 13 16 17 15 12 Human Invoker Lawful Good
Special Abilities: Slow Poison
Where she is: Gnollish Stronghold (x 2529 y 1440)

Short: Dynaheir was kidnapped by the Gnolls, and must be rescued with Minsc
in your party. She is also linked to Minsc and if one leaves, the
other does too. She makes a good mage because she already knows such
spells as Fireball.

Long: Dynaheir is a wychalarn (witch) from the far off nation of Rasheman.
The high Othlor has sent her to the Sword Coast for the purpose of
investigating a prophecy. The Othlor does not find the prophecy of
too great of import which is why Dynaheir, a relatively low ranking
wychalarn was chosen to investigate. Dynaheir hopes that she will
have an opportunity to prove herself in the eyes of the Othlor and
takes her mission very seriously. She travels with Minsc, a hulking
warrior who serves as her bodyguard. She finds it difficult to mix
well with him ever since he lost control of his faculties in a rather
bizarre accident. Dynaheir is self-assured but narrow-minded when it
comes to her opinions. She has no tolerance for stupidity in her
companions and has no compunctions to pointing out the shortcomings
of others. This makes her a difficult woman to get along with.

Grade: A-
In my opinion Dynaheir is the best Mage for Good Aligned parties.
