Trivia[]

Minsc first appeared in the game Baldur's Gate.

Minsc's other game appearances:

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.
