    Is it because he is Evil himself? What happens when other evil characters use the staff?

    I can't say what happened with your first problem with the staff not showing the animation properly but the second problem with the colours does sound like the nether scroll quest bug that is present in vBG2. As I recall, after changing to a woman and back Edwin's colours and animations were permanently bugged due to the way the transformations were applied by the game.

    This is fixed in the BG2 fixpack mod. If applying that doesn't work (since you have already triggered the bug) it can be fixed by using Shadowkeeper to remove the appropriate variables. I can't remember exactly what ones need to be deleted but hopefully someone else will know. I expect that deleting everything referencing the sex change will work.

    Yeah, the transformation is totally bugged. I have the shadowkeeper, but ive got no idea which are the right variables.

    And no, its not because Edwin is evil. Like i said, first time i played everthing was right. He didnt change to a woman, but after landing in hell the animation was suddendly gone too. I reloaded and tryed again, but the effect was the same.

    As for the SK variable to delete:

    You can fix it via ShadowKeeper by removing the Affect "SexChange" or something like that.
    Anyway, yeah this problem is pretty annoying. It also happens to druids in Werewolf form while hasted.
