Shadow Angel

I always considered Imoen a few months younger, at most six.

As for why Imoen became a mage, I felt that during her youth the monks at Candle keep tryed to teach her the Art but she didn't what to be a stuffy mage. She picked of thieving because she liked sneaking around and getting into stuff. However, after some time on the road, she became disillusioned with being a thief and wanted some thing more positive. And due to her education and innate talent, she picked it up quickly.

4: How can Bodhi beat the PC to Spellhold, and have time to play around with thieves for long enough for Irenicus to make note of it?

Another option for the question is that Bodhi travels to Byrnlaw on the same ship you do. After all, Saemon is taking her money also. Once the ship is close enough and after dark, Bohdi and minions transform to bats and fly in, Bodhi to spellhold and the others to the docks to further delay the party.

This has one advantage in that a teleport spell always has a chance of missing the target by miles which would put Bodhi in the ocean and vampires will die if left in running water for to long, at least in the PnP rules. Although the better the destination is known, the less chance of an error. Also Spell Hold probably has wards to block most means of entry via magic.

As for Bodhi's behavior, Irenicus knows her and their shared curse well and the changes would most likely be easily noticible for him.

Wouldn't change Imoen's state of mind, just the loss of her soul.

if you explore the option of her making the sacrifice, she makes a comment about not being pure any more.

Hmm - I think you are mixing in the Imoen romance dialog and the original Bio. There is no such thing as Imoen discussing her 'purity' in Imoen-Sarevok-PC conversations in original Bio dialogs, although Sarevok does speak about her memory of being tortured, and it is rather graphical.

After you transfer to Throne, while speaking with Sarevok in the pocket plane, one of your options is "Is there no other way of restoring you?" If you have Imoen in your party then this starts a dialog between them in which she says "I'm not as 'sweet' as you think Sarevok. And you don't deserve a second chance at life! You Killed Gorion!"

While her comment is 'not as sweet' instead of 'not being pure' still if you make her take the hit, Imoen says "I would lay down my life for [Charname] and more. In an instant. Always. Maybe one day 'brother' you'll understand what that means."

Still shows that Imoen places [CharName] very highly. That's not where I would place my siblings though.

BTW The Imoen Romance mod only exists for Shadows at this time.

In TOB, Sarevok, in one potential banter, tells Imoen that he knows of her unrequited longing for some one when she interrupts him. In another, she tells Viconia that she would give up her soul for [CharName]. And if she is with you and you return Saravok to the living, if you explore the option of her making the sacrifice, she makes a comment about not being pure any more. Possibly from Irenicus and the torture or possible from her growing awareness of her feelings for [CharName].

Unrequited usually refers to love that is not being returned. Since these can occur no matter what gender [CharName] is, it indicates to me that Imoen is Bi.
