    "One Who Harps"

    A force for good in the Forgotten Realms. Jaheira and Khalid are members. They generally just go around doing good deeds.

    Or read some Forgotten Realms books. "The Harper" series might be a good one to start with. ;)

    ah, good books, but the harpers are a "meddling group of all races" according to many other organizations such as, iron throne, shadow thieves, zentarim, knights of the shield and many governments as well.

    Yeah, all you are right. I have heard of a quest in Baldur's Gate but you must have Khalid and Jahiera to participate. Too bad I forced Jahiera to shoot Khalid with bullets repeatedly to kill him off. I'd rather have Branwen on my party. Poor Khalid. :D

    Never regret killing off Khalid. It's part of the appeal BG1 has over BG2.

    I did that once. Funnily enough she still sulked about him dying afterwards even though it was her that killed him.

    [​IMG] ok, enough khalid bashing, with a few items and the proper protagonist, he is not a bad character, he's in fact one of the better characters in the game and the only character that i, i meaning the protagonist, would go with to face 800 wyverns and 80000000000000 kobolds 2v800000000000800 with, hm, i think i added the zeros right, lets see, multiply by 5, carry the 3, divide by 18, square root of 22, minus the protagonist, to the ump teenth power, squared.....

    I will have to disagree with you there. I would take Minsc with me. As he says, "Butt-kickin' for goodness!" He may be stupid, but he is 10x stronger in almost every ability score than Khalid. I think he's a wimp.

    And don't forget: Minsc has Boo!

    What party is complete without some hulking great madman urging his pet hamster to "Go for the eyes!"

    look minsc is great as a role playing character however, khalid with good equipment could mop the floor against minsc with good equipment and them each being the same level, but thats IMO.
