Trivia[ | ]
Minsc first appeared in the game Baldur's Gate.
Minsc's other game appearances:
- Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn
- Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal
- Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear
- Neverwinter
- Dungeon Mayhem: Battle for Baldur's Gate
- CLUE: Dungeons & Dragons
- D&D Dice Adventures
Other Minsc Trivia:
- Minsc (and Boo) was the first Champion revealed before Idle Champions was released[1].
- Hovering over his Strength Stat will show "18/93". Older D&D rules interpret this as 18 strength, 93 percentile. This was because AD&D set 18 as the upper limit for all stats, with a percentile score representing strength higher than 18. In short, Minsc is very strong.
- Minsc also appears in the comic series Legends of Baldur's Gate, written by Jim Zub.
