Hands down the greatest character in the entire series, I remember doing the ancient god quest (the sightless eye) where after seeing the god's avatar appear he comments about seing another god (from waaay back) passed out drunk on Uncle Spanky's front lawn with a massive wedgie up past his waist. Can't remember which god it was (boy could he drink!) I think he said it was Tempus. But I remember my character's reaction was "too stunned" to call bullshit even on that one.
@Massgraven Simple, Just Get The "Use Any Item" high level ability. You can then use everything from Jan's Glasses to Haer'dalis's blades, to Anomens family shield to etc..
@Narania234 I use Anomen because it just wouldn't feel right for a Paladin (my character) to be traveling with an evil Drow. Jan has always worked better for me than Yoshimo because his detect traps skill is much better.
Best Thief in the game, and the most fun character ever made :) My ideal party is Me as a Kensai / Mage, Jaheira, Minsc, Aerie, Jan and Imoen. 3 Warriors, 2 healers, and 3 Mages in a party. Jan is the only real Thief that can get use any item because Yoshi dies :(
@Narania234 I know Ano isn't that good, but I had to make a party of people a paladin would normally associate with. Aerie is also in my party, so I don't depend entirely on Ano & Jan for my spells. Jan's obsession with Boo is also hilarious. I'm no power gamer, & my choice in party members makes that very evident (Minsc, Anomen, Jan, Aerie, & Mazzy). I don't want to make a big(ger) argument over Anomen on a vid about Jan.
This guy is amazing in smaller parties. I usually play the game with 2-3 NPC party members, and if I need a thief, I take Jan. He is very good at dealing with traps, and if you have a smaller party, his Illusionist levels won't be far behind either. He was my main mage, and he summonned planetars and all the good stuff I ever needed. I also used him to kill the end game boss with spike traps. Jan is amazing. Easily the best thief companion in the game, far better and more reliable than Imoen (who in turn is a better mage). 9/10, will take again.
Jan is the best video game character ever created. His story about Ano the dung orc (yes, a reference to Anomen) was hilarious. Also, him linking Renal Bloodscalp's Moniker to severe dandruff was pretty funny. But the best was a few minutes ago, in the underdark, he told Mazzy of the "Great Underwear Shortage" & how he danced naked on the poop deck. Mazzy got really pissed.
There were parties at all hours of the night, Lliira would get plastered and fall into the lily pond and eventually Torm would start a brawl with somebody. Did you know what it's like to have Helm pounding on your door at three in the morning? I could never get any sleep at all. If it wasn't one thing it was getting slapped by Umberlee or hit on by Loviatar. All night long... and in the morning, all the gods would be in a foul mood. Terrible.
Well tbh I naturally had a feeling about Talos being Gruumsh or some other chaotic evil god. And I killed Anomen permanently cause he annoyed me. I considered murdering all the priests of Helm in the Temple district AFTER the Unseeing Eye quest. I thought Bane assassinated Mystra which lead to the Spellplague?
Give Haer'Dalis Celestial fury and that Katana you get with the bonus merchant pack and he's godlike with those swords I have the Celestial Fury and I need 6k more for that other katana
"jan tried to live a normal life, but had been nealy killed 3 different times in a bar room brawl by dwarfs making fun of a dwarf having a beard...he did eventually die...allthough, having a beard and being a gnome..it wasnt a dwarf that ended up being his doom...it was the cause of a hampter getting stuck in his ass" well thats when ya say BOOO haha

To this day, it still makes me laugh
Some his items are the coolest ones you can find in the series. I played PS:T years after BG2, and Nordrom reminded me a lot of Jan.
He may not be your favorite character but this ending takes the gold .... well A gold all endings are amazing.

"When you have that many monkeys, anything is possible." Oh my god I should have had him in my party.
Jans last speech when he talks about the year he spent as a god is so god damn funny he stupid talks deserve a replay of bg2 + TOB just for them alone

fucking funniest and best ending of all time

I played the game when I was 11-13 but was unable to finish it due to life related issues. So I'm making up for it. I played and completed Bg1 at 10

OK I'm playing the P&P game with my friends and I wondered if Wilden can exist in the Forgotten Realms or Eberron?

Well, I wonder how I never heard of this guy. My name is Jan Jansen, from Denmark.
I bring Jan along for his banters with Anomen.
"Ano the Orc"! LOL. He's such a great comical add-on to the already flawless game.
I really could use that immunity to level drain amulet that also boost casting speed I believe
Goody Now to print out the 4e character sheets
I gotta take a look at these books
so hilarious! this guy was such a hoot!
Will Korgan and Keldorn fight each other? and I already have that Crom Fyer Scroll
Well tbh I naturally had a feeling about Talos being Gruumsh or some other chaotic evil god. And I killed Anomen permanently cause he annoyed me.

We might use Wrath of Ashardalon, Castle Ravenloft, or the Legend of Drizzt board game
Sorry I was reading R.A Salvatore books after Baldur's Gate it took me several months to read just about all of it
I just bought over $300 worth of 4e books I'm still gonna be a Wilden Druid
I know the Witch King, the Slaad Lord, House Baenre,House Do'Urden , Hephaestus the Red Dragon, and Errtu
@Rumpnisse00 Really?!? ;D
lol this guy would crack me up, especially with his turnip stories
Actually I'm using him in my party. Those skulls of his are amazing!
Give Haer'Dalis Celestial fury and that Katana you get with the bonus merchant pack and he's godlike with those swords I have the Celestial Fury and I need 6k more for that other katana
Sorry my friends want to play 3.5. I'll play any of them. Didn't the Spellplague kill or drive alot of mages insane?
OK I gave Haer'Dalis two Katana's the Celestial Fury and The Dak'kon zerth blade and he's sick with them!
Sarevok would have a nervous breakdown I guess. :D Once Jan called him Binky! XDDD
"jan tried to live a normal life, but had been nealy killed 3 different times in a bar room brawl by dwarfs making fun of a dwarf having a beard...he did eventually die...allthough, having a beard and being a gnome..it wasnt a dwarf that ended up being his doom...it was the cause of a hampter getting stuck in his ass"
well thats when ya say BOOO haha
Its aggravating to kill the red dragon as a wild mage. But im still gonna try
Imagine Jan and Serevok alone ;)
I have the book of Vile Darkness and all that I think i need for a 3.5 game
I want to get the Elder Evils book
sorry having a evil moment there
I know i use the blaster alot
Going as a Swarm Druid
I'll see what I can do
LOL
this one beats all the other charicters
Can Wilden exist in the Forgotten Realms?
I see... Still my friends are the ones who want to play 3.5
A level 1 Wilden Druid vs a Vampire? God no!
it was fun getting gems
Got Haer'Dalis and already I like him :D
whoops my bad I thought Bane did it but still I want to eat Helms Soul and devour his power and corrupt it for chaos
Actually No I really need to get back into the Forgotten Realms lore
Yep its suicide atm for my Wilden Druid who hit just hit 2
Jan's cute. c: . . .
Err in the personable way.
Haer'Dalis is a Blade
I released Mazzy and am off to fight the Shadow Dragon my Mage is CN
@xxAtlantianKnightxx i love you
I hate that he can carry 50 lbs My team Is My Mage, Keldorn, Minsc, Jaheira, Jan and Aerie
wat?
Tell us about the Great Underwear Shortage!
LOL
Turnips... xD
Supremely annoying character, shitty mage, got spells 2-3 levels later than everyone else, infuriating quests. I hated this guy.
+aweha You disgust me.
