why on earth did they make khalid a fighter??!?

my case...

his stats are rather mediocre for a fighter and you can't pick him up before he's wasted a slot on axe instead of getting a third in long sword.

he's so cowardly i don't think he'd EVER have fought anything if jaheira hadn't been yelling at him constantly.

just an oddity that came to mind. personally i think he would've made a fine level 10 Toady with proficiencies in BrownNosing and Boots of Licking.

You'll get no arguments from me on that one! Some people have said they were able to make him into a pretty good fighter using certain items, but I found his personality so annoying I'd always kill him off ASAP. Bravest thing he ever did was going into battle alone against several ogres with no armour and no weapon...

Monty and Xzar were cooler, so was Xan, Tiax however, was THE coolest NPC in bg1.

Interesting question, but it IS BG1 related, so over there it goes.

Finally someone speaks the truth of Tiax! Anyway, Khalid was only a coward
on the outside on the inside he was brave. Thats the reason why he stays with
you through to the end.

Who prodded Tiax?!

Actually even with all the annoying features Khalid is my 3rd fighter (behind TraderVix and Minsc) Yes he whines and wet's himself when there is combat but I've gotten through alot of tough fights with him.

Khalid is a watse of time. Personally, I got fed up with his whining so I took all his gear of him and fed him to an Ankheg. "mmmm..Crunchy, but satisfying"

I never really keep him myself except for role playing purposes and to keep my groups individual exp down until I meet the characters I want.
