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 ?

Considering <charname> is accepted into the upper echelons of nearly every race/nation that he comes into contact with during BG1 & 2 I don't think it is beyond belief that Dynaheir would see the power within <charname> and attempt to influence it in Rasheman's favour.

That is simply *not* true in BG1. In BG1, Charname is an adventurer with some weak prospects, he has to cheat and steal to get invited to Sarevok's coronation in the very *end* of the game, where the whole aristocratic bloom of Baldur's Gate is gathered. Prior to that, he on the order of the Captain of the Guard (Scar) looked for an ogre in the sewers, and the like, plus roamed the country side, where a Mayor of Nashkel was not sure if he is up to snuff for killing a few kobolds. It's not until ToB that PC is a celebrity, after he had set Suldanessellar to rights.

To Dynaheir, by the time of her death, Charname will be a promissing upstart, that is potentially dangerous and could lead to ressurection of a god that her country opposes. Guiding him/her - hell, yes. Revealing the sacred secrets of her nation to him/her, I think not.

Again, there is nothing that sais that Minsc will not treats PC as he treats Aerie, and he could protect and stuff. But Dynaheir is another cup of tea entirely, and making her reveal it all to Charname is not exactly a winning idea, stinking of Mary-Sue. Minsc selecting Charname *over* Aerie is bad again from Mary-Sue standpoint, with Charname gathering to herself every scrap of "special" treatments from every NPC.

Just how bloody special Charname has to be? Is not being a spawn of Bhaal and the best thing that ever hit the Sword Coast ENOUGH? Does she has to be a Wychlaran who learned all there was to learn in a couple of months instead of years as well? Dynaheir is a very special, very interesting NPC, because of her background. Why should she be stripped of that mantle in favor of PC? You want a Wychlaran? Introduce a proper Wychlaran kit in BG1 for Dynaheir.

But please, don't make a Charname into *another* Rand Al'Thor, who is a Dragon Reborn, and He Who Comes with the Dawn, and a Cor'amoor, and gods knows what else besides!
