Shortly after Edwin joined my party, we went off to Mae'var's guild to finish him off, and I had Edwin polymorph into a spider to help in the killing (it was the only spell he had left) he changed back on his own, but after he did, he wasn't able to attack with a ranged weapon or a spell from a distance, he could only do either if he was standing next to his intended target. Is this a bug, and is there a way to fix it?

I can't say I've ever shapechanged edwin in the 1st place but the only thing I could think about is installing the patch and hope it remidies the problem.

It is not about Edwin in the first place. Once I have played and got Viconia. After initial fight, she acted in the same way as your Edwin does - like she was blinded (and lost all scouting skills ;) ). I am not sure what caused that problem. Perhaps only solution (except patching) is to create him via console. You should also alter game variables which I don't have time to search now, sorry.

Try this... ...

Cast Polymorph Self again and choose anything. After Edwin morphs, click on your special ability( F12) button and choose to morph back into a human.

Or maybe his script has been changed to passive or something - check

well.. for me i had this wierd problem... i had edwin in my party and when i was doing the sharkmen's quest in chapter 4... he died...
after a normal battle with some sharkmen rebels and when i started to walk off... he just died instantly! and no matter how many times i resurrect him.. his died immediately after i resurrect him... thats totally wierd and it ruined my game... this bug certainly sucks!! .. i wonder if you had encounter this problem before?
