** If he's being romanced he even admits at one point that he hasn't been on many campaigns, and that the things CHARNAME's accomplished on her adventures are much more impressive than anything he's done.

** His humour is a lot more subtle and less frequent than the others, but it's most definitely still there. Heck, at one point Yoshimo starts singing a.. rather ribald tavern song, then halfway through stops and apologises to Keldorn for his language. Keldorn promptly finishes the verse, much to Yoshimo's astonishment.

Like Tiax and Quayle you can only get Yeslick fairly late in the game, which makes him unpopular with many players since you normally already have a well-developed party at that point. A fan-made mod exists which makes him available sooner.

* Main/TheNapoleon - Subverted.She doesn't like it when people picks on her due to her size, but she doesn't overcompensate for it. When Minsc compliments her on being so powerful in spite of being so short, she accepts it as a compliment after realizing that Minsc is too earnest to use DoubleSpeak to insult people.

** With the Banter pack mod installed, Jan will invent a number of other things, like a monstrously overengineered crossbow for Valygar which he dubs 'the permanent solution to his wizard problem'. Valygar, in a rare moment of GenreSavvy, asks if this will be one of those weapons that shoot the bolt around the world and hit him in the back. Jan replies that it's 100% guaranteed. Try to use it in-game and you'll find this is entirely accurate.

* BrokenBird - Almost literally.



* ChronicHeroSyndrome - Pretty much requests you help everyone you come across. Acting like this also what got her imprisoned in the first place.



* HeWhoFightsMonsters - Her epilogue if she's not romanced, as she goes on a vengeance spree against Sword Coast slaver rings. She eventually manages to calm down and returns to her home after springing some fellow Avariel from slavery.

* VitriolicBestBuds - With Jahiera.



** This is subverted in one of his banters with Mazzy, which starts out on the subject of potatoes and ends on a note of how Mazzy reminds him of a halfling potato farmer living near his family's homestead who had been captured, enslaved and abused by bandits at a young age before escaping, whose work ethic, optimism and appreciation of good honest toil had always inspired him.

** He is hardly useless though. Even if he is gotten too late to adequately fill the party's needs for a thief, he handles the "Fighter" part of his Fighter/Thief multiclass very well. While his relatively low Strength (for a Fighter) means his decent sword skills will pretty much go to waste, his anomalistically high Dexterity and his bow skills make him second only to Kivan in archery skill and he's still fairly useful all-around.
