Mod. Review: Dark Side of the Sword Coast N.P.C.s!

*This is a light yet critical review the Dark Side of the Sword Coast Non-Player Characters.*

Evaluation Criteria:
Character Ability Balance: Compares Ability Scores to other 'role-similar' original Non-Player Characters.
Non-Player Character Analog: Evaluates Non-Player Character 'roll-ecosystem' within the Original Baldur's Gate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ROUND ONE: BARDO


Bardo:
Strength: 12
Dexterity: 19
Constitution: 13
Intellect: 11
Wisdom: 11
Charisma: 17
[Ability Roll: 83, High]

Character Ability Balance: Very Good. I see no 'Gish' characteristics within Bardo's Ability Scores. Although his starting equipment is dreadfully over powered and dare I say 'uninspired'.

Non-Player Character Analog: Alora, Coran, Imoen, Safana, Skie (Unlisted: Evil Thieves).
Alora (the Good Halfling Thief) is arguably the most similar Non-Player Character when compared to Bardo.


Alora:
Strength: 8 (-4)
Dexterity: 19 (+/-0)
Constitution: 12 (-1)
Intellect: 14
Wisdom: 7
Charisma: 10
[Ability Roll: 70, Very Low*]
*Although She has arguably the best thieving abilities 'in town' based on her Lucky Rabbit's Foot. She also gains +2 Luck as well as more survivablility (Lucky Rabbit's Foot Details: http://baldursgate.wikia.com/wiki/Alora )
So with her better arguably thieving abilities and survivablility with albeit slightly less combat effectiveness than Bardo; I would call it a 'fair balance'.

Bardo Quality Verdict: Pass - He needs less Over Powered starting gear though.

What do you fair souls judge of my Non-Player Character(s) review, thus far? All constructive feedback is welcome.
