But Minsc should be like a level 30 character by now no? after Throne of Bhaal when everyone got maxed out.
The way I interpret levels is that they are not a permanent thing. When a character is involved in a campaign they are being pushed to their limits because of extreme pressure, desperation, and motivation. A retired or aged adventurer would not retain all of their levels. They wouldn’t necessarily drop to 1, but I’m willing to accept that contrivance to adventure with Minsc, again.
Also different editions, so no 1:1 correlation of rules from that. And he was turned to stone for a long time (like.. 100 years or something mad like that)
