Judging by the stories I've read about Eurmal the key point is the bonding to Orlanth. Whatever the Eurmali does he is honour bound to his protector. So his pranks should not have a serious adverse effect on the character he is loyal to and should generally make him laugh. This mutual obligation is what makes an Eurmali difficult to play well and requires an Orlanthi PC who is willing to work with the relationship. In game terms I would see the Eurmali rather as a follower to an Orlanthi PC than a separate PC - or possibly a flaw.
