Jaheira:

I’ve decided to go 10 Druid (arctic) / 2 Fighter.

I don’t think a character that is mostly a fighter benefits much from a few levels of druid.

Splinting even doesn’t provide her a focused enough role for me.

This build makes her a tanky support caster / healer in plate armor with an action surge. I like it.

Minsc:

I just drop ranger entirely. He was only a ranger in 2nd Ed. because barbarian wasn’t a thing yet.

I’m making him an 9 Barbarian (berserker) / 3 Rogue (thief).

Thanks to berserker’s frenzy bonus action attacks and thief’s 2 bonus actions, he gets 4 attacks a turn. If I want to put him in light armor he can be sneaky and can do a bit of extra sneak damage at range before getting in close with a blade.

I feel this adequately represents his character from the first game. He can’t cast Ranger spells, but given his mental infirmity I always felt casting was out of character for him anyway. Completely dump int, wis, and cha and make him a big old dumb physical powerhouse.

Barbarian / Fighter is also good, but that suits Karlach better, I think.

By the way, Boo is not imaginary. How dare you!
