Witches... Options

[Sir Alexander]

Just some ideas for a mod around Witches :

Dynaheir taught a female PC some magic knowledges (PC is a mage, a sorcerer or a cleric/mage)

In SoA Female PC become Minsc's Witch with some cool interactions. Not really a romance or possibility to reedem a evil PC indeed

New abilities : herbal knowledges, witches fear and more. Some items too : Robe of Witch, Rasheman leather armor

And more ...

In your opinion, this idea sounds interesting or not ? I wonder if it's possible to use some "Herbs and Potions" components ?

Minsc is retarded enough to consider a non-Rashemi a Wychlaran (Aerie), so a Lawful Good Dynaheir pouring her knowledge into a child of the god that the Othlot had sent her to investigate and to oppsoe to (especially if a Bhaalspawn is evil!), and to a child of the god that the Three of the Rasheman dominant religion vehemently oppose... *is* unnecessary for Minsc to consider *her* a Wychlaran.

If Minsc is raised Rasheman then every MU he has ever heard of outside of nightmares would be a Wychlaran. So why, upon seeing a female casting spells in another region, would he suddenly divert from his upbringing, education and religion? Information is not pulled from thin air like that. So despite his intelligence, In the mind of his people, a woman casting spells is a Wychlaran. Any other possibility is out of his cultural scope. And Dynaheir is a smart chic. I imagine she can discern the difference between an evil person and a young girl who doesn't stand much of a chance in her current social and political environment unless she is given a few helpful tools by a wise Wychlaran.

Dynaheir could see her as one who unknowlingly walks or could walk the path of Othlot despite her formal education in that particular theology. (plus, Sir Alexander didn't mention what diety she would serve, only a 33.3% chance of her being a cleric of some sort as part of a dual/multi).

Of course the whole concept requires a bit of character development on the part of the young girl to 1) cause Dynaheir to become endeared to her 2) see in her some potential for the specific style fo Wychlaran magic 3) possibly give some sort of test of integrity, character, maturity & resolve. aka Quest, yay! Oh.. and maybe that could turn into a stronghold quest even? Implementing the rangers cabin would be a possibility since it plays into the whole witch stereotype. :/ I'll stick to what I was saying.

I think it's fairly obvious that I think this is a great idea if given the proper attention. I'm eager to see how it turns out. Let me know if I can help. I'm not a modder but I'm told I'm a decent writer if persuaded to use spellcheck so it's legible.


P.S.
I agree that it should be a kit though. I don't see another standalone MU doing anyone any good.
