* Unlike Jaheira, whose stats remained fairly consistent through the games, Minsc's [[Ability Scores]] in [[Baldur's Gate 3]] differ heavily from his stats from [https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Minsc Baldur's Gate 1 & 2]. In every game, he is depicted as immensely strong, being able to punch through walls and break himself out of cages - but despite this, his stats within Baldur's Gate 3 - as a companion - do not reflect this - likely due to the fact that while previous games use stat rolling, Baldur's Gate 3 uses 27 Point-Buy, as well as allowing his Ranger abilities to function more reliably via his wisdom
