I like all the new NPCs, don't get me wrong... but personally I think Rasaad would have been a better NPC to introduce in BG2, rather than BG1. He's a good aligned male, so basically, kinda simpler to romance anyways, and to top that off, he is SEVERELY underpowered in the first game. I can more than enough understand the need to curb him considering how amazing monks get at later levels.
I think my biggest issues are in Durlag's tower when a decent amount of enemies can't be hit by normal weapons, and his fists are normal weapons until level 9 (which is virtually not reached in BG1).
As an NPC in question, I think he's well thought out, and a great addition to any neutral or good aligned party. But in BG2, (since Viconia is there as well) his quest would not have lost its luster, and his class would have been much easier to impliment in that setting.
Thoughts?
