Who is better? Edwin is seemingly flawless, except that he is one EVIL dude. Dynaheir, while lacking in charm/summoning type spells, is as good as it gets as far as alignment goes and makes for pleasant company with her stylish speech. Who do you guys pick?
Personally I think they are both great mages and their weaknesses can be covered up with the introduction of a secondary mage, Imoen, who can cast the spells the specialist mage cannot. If I had to pick I'd probably go with Edwin just to spice things up in an otherwise goodie two shoes party
