I would like a scene to invite Alex to the bathtube. Or let Alex invite himself to the bathtube to have a father-son talk with Thane, while Chet and Eyvind are peeking from a secret spot.
The more Level they add the more difficult for balancing. Not to mention the stats-checks gets either too easy or too frrustrating. What the hero really needs is a new attack spell to make INT slightly more powerful. A fireball- (aoe) or arcance-Missle (multihit) -style.
