Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Minsc has a Wisdom score of 6 and fantastic Strength.
  2. 2
    His Dexterity and Constitution scores provide only very minor bonuses.
  3. 3
    He cannot wear heavy armor and maintain his stealth abilities.
  4. 4
    The Gauntlets of Dexterity will equip him fairly well.
  5. 5
    Equip him with a weapon with reach, such as a Two-Handed Sword, to reduce the need for him to be in danger.
  6. 6
    He is a sequel character and is entertaining to have around, especially in the sequel.
  7. 7
    His favored enemies are Gnolls, which are common but not a significant threat.
  8. 8
    He has the berserk ability, which is not particularly powerful.
  9. 9
    Warning: Do not wait to recruit Minsc. His Hit Points suffer significantly if he reaches level four before you recruit him.
Tips
  • If you are power-gamey, Minsc's specific traits may not be a priority.
  • A Two-Handed Sword is the best weapon option for Minsc due to its reach.
  • Recruit Minsc as early as possible to avoid a penalty to his Hit Points.
