3 a day.

At some point Jan also invents boots that allows the user to turn themselves into his likeness.

Jan is definitely my favorite hero. Never had a game w/o him in party I guess!
First, he is a good character, with his equipment, he has very nice thieving abilities (save for traps but tell me, which eccentric gnome mage/thief uses traps? Bah!), his own quotes are fun (I can't, I'm allergic... well allright, I'm not THAT alergic) and he produces griffon-loads of NPC interaction among party!
Viconia+Jan is fun.
Keldorn+Jan is cracking.
Minsc+Jan is a classic.
and Anomen+Jan.. it's.. overkill. Hail to the fans of Ano the orc xD

I don't know or can't remember about the others, but I'm sure there are many more!

Plus he has this awesome robe thingie with all those fancy colors!

Speaking of it, if you change jans coloring, is it possible to give him back his colors?
And.. is it possible to don another character with Jan's colors?

edit: I love him so much that I include him in my Pen and Paper games all the times. Either in a jail or selling gadgets in Amn <3

But through the Banter Packs, Jan will gain the ability to create new, bizarre, and occasionally useful devices for his companions. Jan currently makes three items: one is given to the PC, one is given to Valygar, and a third is a new ammo-making capability in his Special
Abilities menu."

You can get it here.
Thanks fable,

Checked out the site. Looks cool and will add it the 2nd time I play through.

New at this and have never used mods before (unless you count the BG2 Fixpack and BG2 Tweak Pack as mods), so I'm assuming that you would have to load this Banter Pack in some kind of order, like before or after the Fixpack and the Tweakpack.

Thanks everyone for all the help.

Use ShadowKeeper.
