thought i would throw this out to the masses as ive been lurking these forums for a couple years now. But has anyone thought of making a mod that changes minsc from a ranger to a paladin? i mean he does talk all that nonsense about rightous butt kicking and all that

Well, using the Level 1 NPCs, you could make Minsc to be Paladin, take a Kit for him etc.
But not really, no. If you have more ideas, I suggests we talk about them...

Now, there are few problems when it comes to being a Paladin for Minsc, for example the Witch thing, where Minsc wishes to protect his Witch, namely Dynaheir in BG1, and later in BG2, Aerie. That's not what a Paladin does, but a Ranger can do, especially if he has had a severe blow to his head. :devil:

i see your point and well taken. maybe not so drastic as a paladin but some sort of knight class would be more fitting. Though i have other ideas for more mods this would be the main lead in to the one that i have in mind and has been an idea for a year or so now

but alas :unsure: as long as ive been lurking these forums i still have no idea how to actually make a mod

Ya might also wanna download and take a look at the code that assigns kits to other BioWare NPCs, like the NPC Kitpack :cheers:

i always pictured minsc as more of a barbarian or berserker rather than a ranger, i somewhat recall him being a member of the ice troll berserker lodge


though wiki refers to an ice dragon berserker lodge...

Yup i agree with Discordia at last Minsc fot BTG/TUTU can be a Berserker but not a paladin and at last in BG1 is the strongest NPC so change class can mane him useless but the mod will be yours so good luck
