I don't think Edwin is all that hot. If he was as great as he thinks he is, then why the hell......


***POSSIBLE SPOILER, if you do not wish to read more about Edwin without finding out yourself stop here****















.....did he miscast the spell and turned him into a woman. LOL some mage eh? Not to mention that he got himself killed in the first one, or at least I know I wasted him. I would like to find the cleric that resurrected him and introduce him to my blade.

Original Post From Archlith Azuth:
her spells like incest plauge were useless . . .

I know I am not the best person when it comes to spells, but an incest plauge? I must have missed that chapter in the game. Although I totally bagged Aerie and Jaheria and the Drow Princess. Not to mention the girl in the copper coronet (and I'm still a Paladin, go figure) =-)

Oh, and Thanks for your support, Memnoch (I think)

his BG2 portait sux
but his bg1 portrait rox

It not specificly edwin i like
but he is the only mage
and i got a bug
Edwin never used the neither scroll

Edwin never used the nether scroll as well. I reloaded and got the scroll twice as well. I guess he is saving it for a rainy day.

As for Yoshimo, please read my post "Saving Private Yoshimo," to verify the other ways of keeping him that I have suggested. The current method is not practical and there are surely ways around that don't require leaving him behind for so long.

My favourite is probably Jaheira. Best all-round NPC in the game, in my opinion. She's got the AC to be a great tank, the dexterity to be good at ranged and some of the most useful spells in the game. Give her the hill giant girdle and the impaler and she's a frontliner as well as a tank/disabler.
Azuth, the whole purpose of insect plague is to stop mages. It's not meant to cause devastating damage. As for healing, she's a druid, not a cleric. Then there's that whole 'Jaheira complains, Jaheira whinges' thing again, which is garbage. Aerie's the one that complains most. What's Desyxic mean? Dyslexic? Don't flame me, I'm being serious.
Edwin's a great character. Best mage in the game, and that includes PC mages, since he gets those funky Thayvian powers. But you can't give him the amulet of power, Rik. Like most specialists, he's best used as a team player, since mages don't get very far alone without true sight.
