Larok NPC Options

[Troll]

I've done with items, initial dialogue and the .cre, I'm on to my favourite part. Banters! Tell me what you think of Larok.

You meet Larok in the Windspear Hills, thinking he is another illusion, because he looks like an orc but speaks eloquently. Hereveals, however, that he is a half-orc and that he speaks eloquently because he was raised in Byrn Shander after being seperated from his Uthgardt tribe (hence his Barbarian class). He is a beast-hunter, hired by villages and the like to keep back the tide of monsters, selling the mystical or valuable hides to wizards and merchants. He is Lawful Nuetral and is all about order. He hates the wild, even though it is his sole source of income. He thinks it is too chaotic, too savage and that strong borders of civilization are more important than anything. So he hunts not only for coin, but because of a strong belief system. Naturally, he gets along best with Keldorn, Mazzy, Aerie, Yoshimo and Jaheira but clashes with Korgan, Haer'Dalis, Edwin, Minsc, Valygar and Nalia. He finds a kindred spirit in Anomen, due to their common love of order, and despises Jan, because of his completely random and chaotic nature. He has a plus 1 axe, which he calls 'the Taxidermist', armour made from the pelt of a bugbear shaman, which gives him a health bonus, and a lasso which works like a wand of paralyzation, which has three charges a day. He is also hunting Firkraag, and has been since he was tricked into killing his own party. As the story progresses, more about his life as an Uthgardt, his parents, his Byrn Shander education and his party are revealed. What do people think?

I think that the idea of a Barbarian NPC is very good. What are his stats as a half orc? Half orcs are very strong (maximum 19 strength) and very healthy (maximum 19 constitution). I suggest that you at least give him the maximum 19 in one of the two fields.

You mentioned that he hates the wild and yet get along best with Jaheira. Perhaps a druid will not easily agree with a hatred against wild life, unless you can add some modifications to the hating side of Larok's personality. (ex: He hates the monsters who disturb the order but he does not hate *animals* and wild life in its generality)

He finds a kindred spirit in Anomen, due to their common love of order...

What if Anomen goes for the revenge line in his quest?

And some more questions:
1- Will Larok have a quest?
2- To what extent will he clash with the other NPCs you mentioned? Does he clash just because those characters are chaotic or because of certain things they do in the game?

This is all I can think of for now. Perhaps as you send more information, new points and questions may occur to me. Good luck!
