Hey everyone!
According to some of the posts that I have been reading a lot of people think Edwin is better than PC Mages. In everyone of the posts they mention his 18 INT and the number of spells that he has.
I have been playing a mage since BG1 he is an Illiusionist (Illiusionsists where better in BG1 becuase Necromacy spells sucked. His stats are
Str=11
Dex=17
Int=19
Wis=18
Con=17
Char=9
This is possible becuase of good rolls and the tomes that where available in BG1 to increase your stats. You combine that with all the sweet items for mages like Robe of Vecna, Ring of Wizardry, Acuity, Gaxx, and so on. also he has all the spells except Necromancy. So the only thing that would make him truly powerful would be the wilting spell.
Anyway my point is why do people like Edwin better than Mage PC's. Although I am a little biased since I only ever play mages ever since my first D&D game in grade 4 followed by my addiction to Dragonlance books and of course Raistlin, Dalamar ect. Hmmm......mages.....power....the loose comfort of a robe....
Have a good day!
