If I intend to equip Minsc with the G of Dex, is there a power-game reason for keeping Ajantis after the Major Purchases in Beregost?
But then I also wonder about the flip-side... How much value does Minsc have without the Gantlets [unless I give him Imoen's Bracers of Archery].
My first-run Good Party choice is leaning towards: Charname~ CG-Halfelven, F/M [18[76]-18-17-16-12-10]
Imoen Dualled at Level 6
Branwen
Kivan-Coran w Algernon's Cloak
Minsc
The final spot is a toss-up between Khalid or Jaheira with Ogre Gantlets. I like the idea of Khalid's extra Weapons Proficiency and Hit Pts. But I have no idea how having neither Ajantis nor Jaheira for Party Leader purposes will impact play after Major Purchases in Beregost.
Of course I see the point of having a Stonewalled NPC-PC in front while moving in formation but I am suspecting that most scripted Reactions, such as Drienne, are pegged to Party Rep rather than Charisma of Party Leader....
At present, I am chalking up a few encounters Drzzt, Bassilus, Vampire Wolf and perhaps some more Winter Wolves while waiting for Ankheg Mail -- Khalid was on Mothballs in Nashkel for awhile [an undercover Wise-Guy assignment] so he needs some Catch-up XP, if Ajantis is going to pursue the fervent Pilgrimage thing that was revealed to him in the Temple of Helm....and Jaheira keeps on explaining more and more the difference between Cleric Spells and Druid Spells....
