I've been playing for a while now, got my sorcerer up to XP 66958 Lvl 12, and he has learnt 5th and 6th level spells, but he can't cast them I really want to use chain lightning!!!
I've got patch 1.4 installed before I started playing ... here are the characters unmodified stats:
Str 8
Dex 10
Con 12
Int 20
Wis 13
Cha 11
Any ideas anyone?? I can cast 6 4th level spells and 0 5th and 6th level spells, has me annoyed!!!
Sorcerers, in order to cast the spells, need high charisma and not intelligence like the wizards.
This means that your sorcerer has to have at least 15 charisma to cast level 5 spells and at least 19 to cast level 9.
Every caster including sorcerers needs the ability score, tied to his ability to cast, to be equal to 10 + the spell level.

I made the same mistake, plangdon, when I first started the game. I found an NPC with a high Intelligence/low Charisma, and dual-classed him into a Sorceror. Imagine my surprise when he couldn't cast any spells!
I've also noticed that some spells are "combat-only." I've sneaked up on a few groups, and tried to cast fireball on them, but found out that I couldn't do that until I initiated combat. Blast.
I really want to use chain lightning!!!
