You know what's fun? Statistics! You know what BG3 has? Statistics! 25 of the most prominent characters and their default stats, for your comparison pleasure.

Here are the lowest and highest scorers for each category, both overall and amongst the Origin companions!

Strength

Noodle squad, check in! Astarion, Gale, and Wyll all have a whopping STR 8, followed closely by Volo on STR 9. The hamster is stronger. The hamster is stronger.

On the other side of the strength spectrum, Sarevok could benchpress all three of them at once, with STR 20. Sarevok is scary in general, honestly.

Of the companions, Karlach and Lae'zel both have STR 17.

Dexterity

No single digits here! A perfectly average DEX 10 is achieved by Withers, Aylin, and the Emperor.

Meanwhile, Orin could probably disarm the most complicated traps blindfolded with one arm, with DEX 22, and equal highest score altogether. Only just behind her on DEX 20 are Gortash, Sarevok… and Boo.

Most of the companions have a pretty servicable DEX 13 here - just Astarion stands out, with DEX 17.

Constitution

Sneeze and they fall over. Boo, Withers, Volo, Gortash, Viconia, and the Emperor all have CON 10.

Again, it's Sarevok at the top of the list with CON 20. Why won't you die?!

All pretty average for the companions, here - everyone has 14-15.

Intelligence

Astonishing no one, the literal hamster has the lowest intelligence, with INT 6; this is also the lowest score overall for main characters. Just ahead of him, Karlach, Minsc, and, surprisingly, Jaheira only have INT 8.

It's probably not also much of a surprise to see that the Emperor has the highest, at INT 22, tying with Orin's dexterity for highest score overall.

Of the companions, Gale is the highest at INT 17.

Wisdom

In fairness they both made very poor decisions (although also in fairness, Wyll was 17 at the time). Wyll and Gale have the lowest wisdom at WIS 10.

If you want good advice, go to Orpheus. He has a whopping WIS 21, and the second-highest score overall.

Amongst the companions, it's Shadowheart who has the good sense, with WIS 17.

Charisma

Boo also holds lowest for Charisma at CHA 6, but I personally think this is a filthy lie and the hamster could convince me to commit crimes, so let's say the next actual lowest is a tie between Shadowheart and Lae'zel, on CHA 8.

Unsurprising for characters with actual huge numbers of followers, Orpheus, Ketheric, and Mizora all have CHA 20. Can you imagine if they started motivational services?

Amongst the companions, Wyll should definitely do all the talking, with CHA 17.

Totals

All the Origin companions have a total of 75; so do Minsc and (hilariously) Boo. Of the secondary companions, they're all around-ish that level, with Jaheira as the lowest at 71 (let her rest!), Halsin higher at 81, and Minthara the highest at 84.

Of their allies, Orpheus is a good one to know, with a total of 101. Volo and Isobel could be secondary protagonists, with scores of 73 and 76, very close to the companion average of 75. Withers has the very lowest score altogether at 68, which is kind of hilarious considering he's objectively one of the most powerful in the entire game.

The enemies are pretty fearsome. Mizora ranks down the bottom, with 91. Four antagonists hit 100 - Raphael hits it exactly, Cazador is on 104, Sarevok on 105, and beating him by a whopping 1 point, Orin wins Scariest Character Overall on 106!

In conclusion, jfc 104 no wonder Astarion was scared of Cazador, and also lmao Boo's STR 10.
