AIMS:

-Make Edwin have more depth and use in the game, making use of his superior intellect and magic arts.

IDEAS:

-Give Edwin and the PC mor interactions with various roleplaying opportunities.
-More Edwina interactions.
-Gathering of special magic components (Lich dust, dragon horns, etc)
-Edwina tries and dispel her female form herself before Degardan arrives.
-Give Mr. Oddesseiron a very annoying familiar.


DISCUSSION THREAD:

Feuille:

I was wondering, perhaps Edwin and the PC could make ... not friends, exactly, but evil comrades-in-arms? If you're witty and intelligent, you bandy words with him etc, dance around each other with insults and comebacks, and in the end you grow to respect each other?



Tameon:

Perhaps he could get a familiar; maybe not by choice, but something forced onto him? I could see it now...

CHARNAME: "So, Edwin, I have this Summon Familiar scroll here. Think you could use it?"

Edwin : "(Does the monkey want me to perform magic tricks? How easily amused he is by such simple spellwork!) Of course I can use it, fool. It is a simple enough spell that I would imagine even the likes of you could cast it."

CHARNAME: "Oh yeah? Prove it!"

Edwin: "What?! No, I will not! Do you think I am some sort of magician, here to entertain you with cheap parlor tricks?"

CHARNAME: "Then I guess you aren't as great as they say you are."

Edwin: "Bah! A mere Summon Familiar spell would not even begin to demonstrate my greatness! All it takes is a little of this, a little of that...oh, by the nine hells! Look what you made me do!"

Imp: "Hiya, master!"

I dunno. Just a thought. Also, maybe the quest to collect spell components could vary depending on whether or not he is Edwina, instead of being Edwina-only?



Moongaze:

No, gathering components is a full Edwin AND Edwina task. Think about it: He gets trapped in a woman's body through his own fault, and he desperately asks the PC to find a cure. Wouldn't it make more sense that he himself would search for a cure while in the party? (One or more that fail, of course sarcastic eye roll )

As for friendship, seeing Laufey's Edwin Romance, 'tis very rare for a Thayvian Red Wizard to make a friend. Edwin is Lawful Evil. He'd see people's *use* (lackey, concubine, servant, slave, delivery boy), before he would even start considering the person is actually quite nice. I'm not saying it's not possible....but it'd take very long for him to become the PC's friend.

The familiar sounds like a nice idea, though. big grin Irritating Edwin with an annoying imp or some other creature (Gauth Beholder? Mephit? Raven? Bat?) is always good. being evil

Trading insults would definately be in, I'd say. If a friendship would be a little too farfetched, or too much work, then I'd at least want the PC to have conversations with him, giving the player the opportunity to pick on him, have a battle of wits and/or insults, act like a complete fool, etc.
