Koshi is a male fighter who is found on the second floor of the Guarded Compound in Athkatla's Temple District.
If Gorion's Ward and party intrude and decide to explore the second floor, Koshi will attack along with the rest of his group, including Sion, Ketta, Maferan, Stalman and Olaf Rassmusen, providing the party with quite a tough battle.
Gameplay[]
Koshi is a powerful Kensai that can deal out a lot of damage very quickly by dual-wielding Celestial Fury and a Katana +1 while hasted by Oil of Speed, making him a force to be reckoned with.
He also has his movement rate increased by 2.
Koshi will attempt to quaff one of his healing potions when his HP falls below 20% of maximum.
Koshi will enable his Kai ability when an opponent is within 5-feet distance, however he can do this thrice, however, there is a delay of several rounds between potential uses.
Notable Loot[]
Celestial Fury[]
In addition to 1d10+3 (slashing) damage, each hit from Celestial Fury can Stun (save vs spell) with a 5% chance of +20 electrical damage. Further, once per day its wielder can cause Blindness, and call a Lightning Strike (10d6 electrical, save vs Spell for half), but Koshi won't use this special item ability during unmodded gameplay.
Notes[]
- In the classic
Baldur's Gate II:
Shadows of Amn (2000)
This icon indicates content from the original Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn campaign. game, Koshi was a fighter with no kit; therefore, it was not against 2e rules to equip a helmet. - Koshi's kit was upgraded in the Enhanced Edition to kensai, although the helmet remains, perhaps because the developers missed it, or just decided not to remove it.
Mod content[]
- This section is about unofficial content that is only available via fan-made mods.
Sword Coast Stratagems makes some revisions to Koshi. A different AI Kensai script is assigned for more adaptive combat behavior, targeting, and opponent vulnerability assessments.
Kai ability is enabled frequently - and the kensai warrior is furnished an addition random potion for buffing purposes.
He now has 5-points in katana weapon proficiency and 3-points in two weapon fighting style, so will hit more frequently, with a 5 APR.
