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 ?

If Minsc is raised Rasheman then every MU he has ever heard of outside of nightmares would be a Wychlaran.

That's incorrect. Wychlaran is so much more than the magic users. They are female rulers of Rashemen, the cast of the highly respected women, offending whom is pretty much punishable by death. The girls are tested at the tender age and taken away from their families if they show the gift for magic, and then are brought up as Hathrans/Wychlarans.

There are male wizards in Rashemen, called Vermionni, and those have a little bit of an alternative - they can chose thier craft or exile. Rashemen are traditionally opposed by the Red Wizards of Thay, who are both male and female, so no Rashemi thinks that every mage is necessarily a Wychlaran. They are also well aware of what is going on outside, especially in their neighboring region, and the whole idea of dajemma is to educate the young men and women about the outside world and bring back more information to Rashemen.

Dynaheir's friendship with PC is not something out of the question. Dynaheir revealing the secrets of her country if she would want to ever return pretty much is.

Plus, the only way to implement Dynaheir teaching the PC is to make a mod that spans over both BG1 and BG2. Otherwise, you make waaay too many assumptions about the PC in the beginning of Bg2. That Dynaheir liked her. That she taught her. That Minsc knows about it.

That is the very reason I quoted the comment about Aerie specifically. But I don't care to argue details. I merely wanted to point out that there is a lot more potential than nonsense in Sir Alexanders idea. Guess I got a bit off topic. You seem to know much more than me about Rasheman ad it's culture so I digress humbly. The idea of the witch kit still rocks.
