1. I hold great power, though I cannot wield it myself.
2. I share but one colleague, yet our work is completely different.
3. In all likelihood, I have indirectly helped someone get totally stoned.
Bernard, from the Copper Coronet? If not, I'll try to give some of my own thinking of the clues:
1: Either a merchant that can't actually use the weapons he's carrying, or some character that drops a powerful item as loot that it can't use. Would have to be a Cleric, Mage, Druid, or Monk for this to work.
2: I got nothing before what's written on the tin: if it's Bernard, I was thinking of Lehtinan or Hendak.
3: Bartender, or Druid? Some Cleric of a nature deity?
Zaviak? I can't think of anything for 1 besides maybe the Vision Quest spectacles, but 2) could be a reference to Wilson, and 3) could be a reference to his being a Wild Mage.
Reginald, from the Wild Mage camp? 1) He can't actually wield his own hammer, 2) Still no idea, 3) Wild magic zones around the hammer sounds awful, honestly, and petrification is likely. 4) No idea. 5) See 1 and 3.

4. You can spend the night with me, but it will cost you an arm and a limb.
5. Not only have I gotten people stoned; I have also gotten people hammered.
6. I bear half the name of my greatest work.
In the beginning (the first 3 clues) I was contemplating ie Mutamin for the reference to "stoned", trying to find if there was another gardener in BG somewhere.. but he doesn't drop anything he cannot use AFAIK. After clue 4 I was thinking more about Kangaxx (his body parts) or Dace Soltan.. but nothing really fits. On clue 5 I stopped thinking "stoned" and "hammered" was puns and instead read them literally, thinking about vendors or characters having potions, scrolls or cursed items that can cause these effects.
@semiticgod
Cromwell comes to mind as he
1. Has several items to make that he himself cannot use, especially Crom Faeyr
2. Colleague? I'm missing something here
3. Stoned? I'm missing something here as well
4. You have to spend the night with Cromwell to make an item but it metaphorically costs you an arm and a limb due to his prices
5. He makes Crom Faeyr, the hammer to end all hammers.
6. CROM Faeyr, CROMwell. Need I say more?
I'm 90% sure I'm right but you're going to have to explain #2 and #3 to me.
2. Like Cromwell, Cespenar also forges items, but uses different recipes.
3. Cromwell claims he made a helmet from a cockatrice--which might have given the wearer the ability to petrify people as a cockatrice could.
In waukeens promenade you can talk to one of the merchants near the painting area called Maheer. He will tell you he does not make weapons or armory but instead works with horns.
If you give him the silver horn of valhalla and some gold and I think a diamond he can upgrade it to a bronze horn. And that one again can be upgraded to an iron horn using a beljuril gem.
1) ???
2) "Magnificent"
3) Won't tell you how he got there, or how he got trapped in the machine.
4) The crystal mallet can free him from the machine, but also make him vulnerable.
@Montresor_SP
Yes!
1. He shares his name with Carston, one of the Iron Throne guys that attack you in the Undercity before you get to Sarevok. Though I'm 110% sure they can't be the same character
Hello, sorry for the silence. If I don't post a new one tomorrow, please feel free for anyone to post one. Had a ton of work and have a vacay for the next 6 days with minimal screen time planned.

Or it might be his colleague The Concoctor, who cannot wield the power, because obviously a mushroom can't drink the potions...
The both have produced bad potions that turned someone to stone.
4. You can spend the night with me, but it will cost you an arm and a limb.

To summarize, I have absolutely no idea, haha

As for 2 and 3:
2. Like Cromwell, Cespenar also forges items, but uses different recipes.
3. Cromwell claims he made a helmet from a cockatrice--which might have given the wearer the ability to petrify people as a cockatrice could.
If you give him the silver horn of valhalla and some gold and I think a diamond he can upgrade it to a bronze horn. And that one again can be upgraded to an iron horn using a beljuril gem.
So THAT'S how it works.
Anyway
*Ahem*
1. I share a name with a foe from your past
2. Though my name is a bit more flashy
3. How did I get down here?
4. I'm afraid of hammers.
1) ???
2) "Magnificent"
3) Won't tell you how he got there, or how he got trapped in the machine.
4) The crystal mallet can free him from the machine, but also make him vulnerable.
Yes!
1. He shares his name with Carston, one of the Iron Throne guys that attack you in the Undercity before you get to Sarevok. Though I'm 110% sure they can't be the same character
Next:
1) To help the three, you must plant a tree.
2) To plant a tree, you must destroy me.
3) I possess something which belongs to the dead.
Something sounds fishy about my name
It might make you think all I do is complain
And truly that's all that I do.
I'm just the wife of a farmer
I've never dug up no armour
I'm just not as lucky as you.
@Skatan It certainly is. You're up.
2. At least part of me could be played by Edward Norton
3. Our meeting could be soundtracked by The Calling
Is it possibly The Slayer?
