Originally posted by JackOfClubs Actually, you do need at least 18 INT to memorize level 9 spells. But you can still cast from scrolls, even with a low INT. Untrue again.

Originally posted by JackOfClubs However, to cast level 9 spells requires at least 18 intelligence, so Imoen and Nalia will need potions to memorize them. Untrue. This is not AD&D, this is a simplified computer adaptation. Only the chance to learn spells and the maximum number of spells per level a...

SoA has an experience cap that prevents mages to reach level 18, so without cheating you can cast level 9 spells only from scrolls - with ToB installed it's another story. INT requirements for high level spells were indeed present in PnP, but they aren't implemented in BG2 (only the limit on number ...

With 19 INT, yes

Otherwise you can drink potions of genius before scribing them - but it seems cheesy to me
(a temporary boost shouldn't allow you to handle too many spells all the time)

First of all, I started as Kensai but don't seem to increas in power since I passed level 20 You still gain HLAs, Kensai's bonus every 3 levels, kai... AFAIK they're unlimited Should I dualclass (or was it multiclass, I only know that it's the on that doesn't start at level 1) to mage, do I still k...

There was a bug with the Greater Werewolf's regeneration rate. It grew faster with every reload. Don't remember which package contains it, but definitely there is a fix somewhere. Without the fix anyway, you can still try to inflict all the damage at once. Pile up haste, spells like Righteous Magic,...

Littiz?!? I thought you left. Wha- what are you doing here? I left SYM, still lazily browsing the BG forums what about spells like 'Spell Trigger' and 'Chain Contingency': what are good ways to use them? Well, the combinations are endless. About the contingencies: offensive use of them makes little...

@Galuf:
try it with autopause: spell cast.

and maybe with Time Stop (can do without it, but it's cool )
place dozens of Skull Traps in face of you enemies, bring down ALL their magic defenses then attack them, bring up all of YOUR magic defenses then attack, or... all of this at the same time

Well, if "perfect" stats is your aim, just enable the cheat mode, and press CTRL-8 while rolling stats.
You'll get 18 (or 18/00) in all stats, in no time.

My advice would be to play differently, but...

Sorry I've been too harsh to "reporters"..
I only mean: a forum needs rules. Friends need (a bit of) complicity.

Thanx for your words, @all.
But hey, I don't like definitive goodbyes, for the same reason I dislike bannings. I'll have my break.
Take care

I also happened to read something above the lines. I NEVER reported anything. Why? ⋅ I don't find an offence so a terrible injury that it can't be resisted. Sometimes strong friendships are born this way, after reconciliations. Hey, I'm italian. I'm used to verbal wars like SYM has never s...

@Enchantress, I think you misunderstood Scayde's meaning.

Honor to Waverly and others who posted in the line. There are many ways to be offensive, and spitting direct offenses is only the last of them (and selecting "unusual" terms is only the second last). I didn't follow the case, and I mean no disrispect to Buck who's not omniscient. But.. I think we sh...

I mostly lurk and post only when I have the time, or I find the time when a topic enflames me. I like light-hearted threads, I read through them but usually don't post in them 'cause I'm not very good at lightening (does this word exist?) the hearts of people... So I only post here and there and I'm...

Thanx @Ench! I still don't know what really happened, but still I hope things can be undone. For me, I've never seen any of the debate here, even the most heated, as something to be worried about. I've always had the sensation that people felt to talk with friends. I've always admired Grunt (for wha...

I don't really "know" you Vivien, but it's good to see people genuinely happy for marriage, nowadays!
My best wishes! (when you'll read it anyway )

I'm not sure I understand...
What happened to Grunt?

I had smoothed my positions about homoadoptions, though, @frogus. I'm no more absolutely against them, I only say that imho they have a big negative point, the lack of a parent. Given equivalent conditions on the rest, I'd choose a hetro-couple. What are the bases for my opinions? Quoting myself: "I...

if mods feel like moving this.. Littiz - perfect circles are very different to scientific theories. mathemathics is not concerned with an accurate representation of the real world, science is. Thus, it proves nothing for you to take examples from maths. Please don't take the following as offensive,...
