Question about edwin

Not surprising, since Aerie and Imoen are both Mages. Mages get 3 Lore per level, whereas Sorcerers only get 1 Lore per level.

yeah, that's what I thought that even if INT/WIS gives bouns, it's not that great; the class of a character matters more.

That "can't be removed" part carries a downside, though (not saying it's huge, but it's there). He can't use the Amulet of Power, & I don't think there's any item in the game that he can use to get Negative Plane Protection, so Vampires can often have him hiking up his skirts & running away.

(yes, there's temporary solutions, like Negative Plane Protection or just not getting hit, but he can't benefit from the improved casting time, either)

Contains spoilers to those who may wish to discover this about Edwin for themselves:

Although this might not be completely relevant to the topic, I just thought it might be handy to note for those who may wonder of the fate of Edwina's gender, if like me, you may have thoughtlessly murdered what seems like the only 'in game' way of reversing the nether scroll's 'doings'.

In spite of what I did, I kept Edwina until the very end of SoA - and to my amusement, after the final battle with Irenicus, the party appears in 'the nine hells' and the old Edwin has seemingly returned! Strangely enough, he hasn't made any conscious referrences to the fact that he is no longer whining like an angry grandmother or indeed that his 'rack' is missing. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Good to have the ol' Edwin back. (Edwin do this Edwin do that, somebody give this jerk a banana!)
*sigh*. He's awesome.
