Can anybody link me to a discussion of the best spells for a sorceror in IWD2 to take?

Failing that, I would welcome advice on these selections.

Current reportoire is

1 Magic Missile, Mage Armor, Chromatic Orb, Ray of Enfeeblement, and Grease
2 Melf's Acid Arrow, Snilloc's Snowball Swarm ...

I love Minsc and Boo, but I've never been able to understand how Boo avoids taking any damage from Fireballs and other area-of-affect spells. I mean - he's in Minsc's quick item slot, so it's not like he even has the protection of Minsc's backpack.

I guess he must have both incredibly high saving ...

I was going to take Discipline for the added will save, but If I'm going to get only 1 feat per 4 levels it's a luxury I can't afford. The reason I like high will saves is because the one thing I hate is when I get disabled in anyway. I mean fail a reflex save you take more form a fireball, fail a ...

What do you guys think of Aasimars ?? I know all about ECL, but it seems that if my party is at a lower level then it will get more expierience per encouter. Will this offset a minor ECL penalty ?? those guys get 4 extra stats seems to be just what the doctor ordered. I miss 2E where I could just ...

Well, I bought it, and I'm glad I did.

I will have the pleasure of using it to administer a healthy beating to Nym if I ever run into him again.

I am considering taking this feat for a high-level melee character.

The manual says that, if a PC strikes an enemy with a critical hit, "the (PC) causes Blindness (50% chance) or Slow (50%) for five rounds unless a Fortitude save is made. Fair enough.

What the description omits is the PC's ...

**** POTENTIAL SPOILER ****

Kmonster,

I think I've figured out what you mean. I found a "loop" where I just keep going north and I get a new Restless Dead to kill every other pocket.

But it sure did get monotonous after a while. :o

At only 337 xps per RD, I think I'd die of boredom before ...

Is this weapon worth purchasing from Nym? It seems awfully expensive. Even using my Paladin/Sorceror with the Mercantile Background feat and 24 charisma to "negotiate," the price is 23,424 gp. That is nearly a quarter of my party's treasury.

The bonus fire damage seems nice, but the lack of any "to ...

Hey, Philos, can you tell me how to activate the MAX Hp on level up option in Baldur's Gate 2. I can't seem to find it.

Try to get spells that become more powerful as you go up in levels.

For example, don't take the lower level Monster Summoning Spells. The monster summoned by Monster Summoning I is the same, regardless of whether you are 1st level or 15th level.

However, there are some summoning spells that are ...

Suggest you check out the sticky on the Eight Chambers.

Just in case, I went back and replayed the fight.

And I'm glad I did.

4,200 XP's.

I just completed the showdown with Sherincal at the front of the Ice Temple. After the battle, just out of curiousity, I scrolled up to see how many experience points I earned for killing her.

Turns out the answer is none.

It appears that the reason therefore is that the damage that killed her was ...

I selected Grease.

My wizard is the party "identifier." He has poured skill points into Knowledge and he has 20 intelligence. I don't remember the last time he had to actually cast the Identify spell, though sometimes I have him memorize it just in case I need it for that day.

Thanks to all who ...

My Sorceror is going up to 7th level. He will be taking what effectively is his final 1st level spell.

He can already cast Magic Missile, Chromatic Orb, Mage Armor and Ray of Enfeeblement. What spell would best round out this arsenal?

....

Miscellaneous info:

Party role is mixed - offensive ...

Lay on hands is level dependent, correct? IE, you get 2x char level heal pts, iirc. Question is, even with only 3 pal levels, lay on hands (and other level dependent spells) takes total *char* level, not just pal levels, right?


That is incorrect. Only Paladin levels count towards a character's ...

Does anybody know whether the two-handed proficiency feat grant the requisite bonuses to attacks with two-handed ranged weapons (i.e. shortbows and longbows)?
