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)

== AddendumWarrior? ==

The '''Multituberculata''' are the only major branch of [[mammalia|mammals]] to have become completely extinct, with no living descents. Rodent-like, they first appeared in the Middle [[Jurassic]], and became extinct in early [[Oligocene]].

"Minsc is the strongest joinable warrior in both games"

They are named for their teeth, which had many cusps (tubercles) arranged in rows, hence multituberculates.

Isn't Minsc a Ranger?

About 80 [[genera]] of multituberculata are known, including <i>[[Lambdopsalis]]</i>, <i>[[Ptilodus]]</i> and <i>[[Meniscoessus]]</i>.

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.

In their 2001 study, Kielan-Jaworowska and Hurum found that most multis could be referred to two suborders; “Plagiaulacida” and Cimolodonta. The exception is the genus <i>[[Arginbaatar]]</i>, which shares characteristics with both groups.

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

"Plagiaulacida" is paraphyletic; it’s an informal suborder which doesn’t consist of an ancestor and all of its descendants. Its members are the more basal multis. Chronologically, they ranged from perhaps the Middle Jurassic, (unnamed material), until the Lower Cretaceous. It’s further subdivided into three informal groupings: the Allodontid line, the Paulchoffatiid line and the Plagiaulacid line. (See "[[Plagiaulacida]]" for further details.)

== PC vs NPC ==

[[Cimolodonta]] is apparently a natural (monophyletic) suborder. This includes the more derived multis, which have been identified from the Lower Cretaceous to the [[Eocene]]. Recognized are the superfamilies [[Djadochtatheriodea]], [[Taeniolabidoidea]], [[Ptilodontoidea]] and the [[Paracimexomys group]].

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. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_character wikipedia's article] [[User:Bragador|Bragador]] 15:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Additionally, there are the families [[Cimolomylidae]], [[Boffiidae]], [[Eucosmodontidae]], [[Kogainonidae]], [[Microcosmodontidae]] and the two genera <i>[[Uzbekbaatar]]</i> and <i>[[Viridomys]]</i>. More precise placement of these types awaits further discoveries and analysis.

== Sarevok spoiler? ==

With the possible exception of some poorly preserved South American material, multis are only known from the northern hemisphere. A southern grouping, [[Gondwanatheria]], has in the past been referred to the order, though this placement currently has little support.

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)

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.
