First of all, does intelligence have any effect on a mage other then to allow him to cast higher level spells? In other words, is it worth going above 19 int? Second, does a sorcerer's cha work exactly the same as a mage's int? Do you need 19 cha to cast level 9 spells? And if so, is there any benefit in going beyond 19?

firstly, a mage's intelligence is working like the sorcerer's charisma. secondly, yes, you need to have 19 charisma with a sorcerer in order to cast 9 level spells.

if you go above 19 intelligence or charisma (mage or sorcerer), it just powers the DC of the spells. i think that it's not good to go above 20 in the most needed ability, because then the other abilities are low.

hoping it helped

Check out the table on p. 69 of the manual.
It will show what number of bonus spells you get with increased spellcasting ability.

And yes - a sorcerers charisma works like a mages intelligence.


So the benifit for going above 19 is limited, but alone due to the way that 3.ed rules are set up I would personally never end a statistic on an odd number because you gain bonus'
on even numbers. So besides from being able to cast level 9 spells - 19 intelligence is bonus wise just as 18 intelligence.


Hope this helps a little
