Other Infomation

Dynaheir and Minsc were originally sent to the Sword Coast as part of Minsc's 'dajemma' - a journey of self-discovery, during which he must protect her, gaining new insights and experiences in distant lands as a sort of 'rite of passage'. Unfortunately Dynaheir got separated from him, imprisoned at the Gnoll Stronghold.

Recruitment[]

Dynaheir is available to recruit from Chapter Two. Join with Minsc in Nashkel of his rescue attempt or look for her yourself in Gnoll Stronghold then bring her back to him, either way she has to pair with Minsc if you want to keep her. Alternatively, Edwin is also searching for a group in Nashkel with whom he can reach the stronghold, though he wishes to kill her in revenge for an unspecified wrong. If you allow her to join your party, you get 800 XP.

Relationships[]

Dynaheir gets along well with Ajantis, who may or may not have a bit of a crush on her.
Dynaheir dislikes Alora, and will insult her with little to no provocation. This ire may be due in part to how friendly Alora is with Edwin. Alora, understandably, responds poorly to these insults and thinks Dynaheir is mean.
Dynaheir thinks fairly highly of Branwen.
Coran will flirt shamelessly with Dynaheir, but she subtly shuts him down.
To say Dynaheir does not get along with Edwin is the understatement of the year. As a Wychlaran and a Red Wizard, the two dislike and distrust each other immensely, and of course there's the little issue of Edwin actively trying to kill her. The two will butt heads and eventually fight to the death if they're on the same party for any substantial amount of time.
Eldoth finds Dynaheir intriguing and will attempt to put the moves on her. Dynaheir, however, will have none of it and turns him down. She dislikes him and has no problem with making her distaste for him known.
Dynaheir dislikes Faldorn and will imply that she totally smells. Despite this, Faldorn has no quarrel with Dynaheir.
Dynaheir thinks highly of Garrick, but Garrick does not share this view of Dynaheir, as he believes she is too rude towards his friends and needs to learn some manners.
Dynaheir respects Jaheira, though Jaheira shows no indication of returning the sentiment.
Kagain dislikes Dynaheir, and thinks she is an altruistic moron.
Dynaheir respects Khalid and gets along well with him. While Khalid, for the most part, returns the sentiment, he does believe she is a bit too brutally honest and could stand to be more tactful.
Minsc is Dynaheir's protector and the two are very close. Dynaheir, however, does seem to think Minsc is a little too overprotective at times. And, to be fair, Minsc is very protective. She also dislikes Boo, thinking him unclean, and wishes Minsc wouldn't always keep the hamster so close. Should Dynaheir and Edwin come to blows, Minsc will join in the battle on Dynaheir's side.
Dynaheir dislikes Quayle, but then again, the majority of the game's potential companions dislike Quayle, and the remainder merely tolerate him.
Skie feels more secure with Dynaheir around and considers her a good friend.
Dynaheir and Tiax share a mutual dislike of each other.
Dynaheir is one of the few characters Viconia actually respects.
Xan respects Dynaheir and feels more secure with her around.
Dynaheir thinks poorly of Xzar.

Gameplay[]

With a constitution score of 16, receiving the highest HP bonus a non-warrior class can get, capable of offensive magics such as Fireball at the time of joining, with the practical Slow Poison as a special ability at her disposal, Dynaheir is solid add on to the party. She's also the only Invoker in games, a specialist mage who gains one extra spell per spell level, but unable to master some late game shiners - enchantment spells like Greater Malison.

She has no items when she joins the party.

In Enhanced Editions, companions who are under-leveled at the time of joining will be given a certain amount of experience points (XP) for you to manually level them up to gain more control of their status.

Dual-classing Dynaheir can be a very viable option for her in a party that needs a powerful good-aligned Cleric, with high Wisdom bonuses and access to Wizard spells in addition to interesting synergy with her Invoker kit granting her offensive spell saving throw bonuses when using the Cleric spell Flame Strike. Dualing at level 6 is optimum as it gives her access to all Cleric levels under the experience cap, which continues to hold for Baldur's Gate:

Biography[]

See also: Trivia

“

When asked about her past, DYNAHEIR has very little to say. She is apparently from the far-eastern nation of Rashemen, and has come to the west with a bodyguard known as Minsc.
Minsc is on his dajemma, a rite of passage, and it appears that she may be involved in something similar. Of this, she will only state that great things are foretold for the Sword Coast.
She seems very sure of herself, is possessed with an old-world sensibility, and is very demanding of her companions. She has expressed concerns about the sanity of her bodyguard, though she has an obvious respect for him and will not go far from his side.
