Edwin help, spoiler

[karlosovic]

i have Edwin and the other 2 evil characters, plus my neutral-evil skald. We've done korgan's book and got Edwin's scroll. now I just went back and cleaned out Mae'Vars guild and went to rest. When we woke, Edwin had worked out some of the scroll and got 50,000 exp. The problem is, it made him level up 9->10 but his spells went weird.
what he had before
lvl - number
1 - 8
2 - 7
3 - 7
4 - 6
5 - 5
what he now has
1 - 7
2 - 7
3 - 6
4 - 5
5 - 5

why would he level up and LOSE spells ? I've heard he turns into a woman or something but he still seems to be male. his thac0 was reduced 1, plus 3 lore and 6 hit points. I've tried it 3 times... the 1st and 3rd time it showed "Edwin - Level up" twice even though he just leveled once, but all three times it produced the same result. Is this meant to happen or should I use shadow keeper to give him his proper spell slots? If so, what spells should he have gained going from 9->10 ?
thanks in advance

There's a known bug with edwin, where he gets too many spellslots at certain lvl ups .. the game later " fixes " this by actually reducing spellslots at lvl ups after that.
I'm not sure the game gives the appropiate spellslots though, you should check with your manual ( has a table with the number of spellslots per lvl, edwin gets +3 per lvl extra . .1 for being a specialist mage, 2 from his amulet ).

If it doesnt give the appropiate spellslots, baldurdash has a fix i believe.
Hope it helpoz [img]smile.gif[/img]

OK I checked the manual and a lvl 10 mage should have 4,4,3,2,2 spells
If Edwin gets +3 of each level spell then I do in fact have the correct number of each spell now, so thanks daan.
I think this is the first level up he's gotten since I recruited him, so maybe the extra spells are given to him to boost him before he joins or something. Dunno why though, no other NPCs are like that are they ?

[img]smile.gif[/img] Edwin is unique
Without doubt the most powerfull mage in the game in sheer spell-power.
( I said mage, not magic-user,.. sorcerer's are better [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

Too bad only that they had to put that amulet around his neck,.. would have made a great place for the amulet of power. And the amulet is basically just the developers way of making it easy for them, since Edwin actually gets extra spells for being a Red wizard of thay, and some other thingy. Someone posted it once .. but it was apparently a little hard to implement jut for him, so they gave him his amulet to mimick his innate abilities.
He could have been even more powerfull

the opposite is with valygar...

when i took him he had no spells to cast although he was high enough level.... when levelled-up all became okay
