Create characters so that Elminster can f*ck them?

I think not.

I'm sorry but this is way cool. I totally want a character in an Ed novel. In fact, one of my previous puppets (Leah Silvertree) kind of grew out of reading the Knights of Myth Drannor series. I'm going for it! I'm sure old El's still got his hands full with the Symbul anyway. :)

Elminster never has his hands full. It's one of his contingency spells: he just grows more hands.

The beauty of being a protagonist is that you somehow never happen to be otherwise engaged when the exciting and the relevant happens.
