I love Minsc, but I don't think it's fair to say that only Sarevok surpasses him- Korgan is just as good a fighter, possibly better, and only gets the short shaft from fans because he's tempermentally unsuited to most parties. [[User:Stilgar135|Stilgar135]] 22:17, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

== Warrior? ==

'''''Highball with the Devil''''' is the sole [[studio]] [[album]] by [[Les Claypool|Les Claypool and the Holy Mackerel]], released in 1996. The name "Les Claypool and the Holy Mackerel" is misleading; the bulk of the instruments on the album are played by [[Les Claypool|Claypool]] himself, including all of the basses, as well as most vocals and drums, and many guitars. Guest appearances include [[Charlie Hunter]] on guitar for "Me and Chuck;" [[M.I.R.V.]] on guitar on songs such as "El Sobrante Fortnight" and "Hendershot," as well as on the saw for "Precipitation;" Jay Lane on drums; and [[Henry Rollins]] narrating "Delicate Tendrils."

"Minsc is the strongest joinable warrior in both games"

Isn't Minsc a Ranger?

"Highball with the Devil" tells about man who wanted to take over the world. He got to bar in his "quest" and drank all his money. "Highball with the devil" means fighting against drunkness. "Highball" is really popular drink glass and "The Devil" just means the "bad sides" of drunkness.

With a hamster yes. But with the way he acts, its a mix between Warrion/Fighter, paladin(doing hid own good, a good rebel)and ranger, with abilities.

A Ranger is a type of warrior. [[User:Pyromaniac589|Pyromaniac589]] 20:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

== PC vs NPC ==

Minsc is '''not''' a non-playable character since not only can he join the group but he is also fully under the control of the player. This should be changed in the article.

== Sarevok spoiler? ==

It might be a borderline-case, but shouldn't Sarevoks appearence in Baldur's Gate 2 (and especially that he can join your party) be marked as a spoiler? It's in the "Powers"-section. <blockquote>''Minsc is the strongest joinable warrior in both games (Strength 18/93) until the Baldurs Gate II addon Throne of Bhaal that introduced Sarevok (Strength 18/00) (...)''</blockquote> -- [[User:Anissen|Anissen]] 12:22, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

== Vin Moosk and Boo ==

You don't suppose that when there is another episodes of [[Kids Next Door]] featuring Moosk, that Boo may make a Cameo/homage role? After all there Are hamsters in the show and Moosk is very much like Minsc. Even the name is a slight anagram.

Vin Moosk

Minsc (C is a K sound)
