Hm very interesting Saros, your insight about Ascension will definitely affect my spell choices.

One thing I do not really understand is why to bother with "fighting sorcerer" spells like Tenser's and Shapeshift. Sacrificing spellcasting during a huge battle seems like it would be instant death for ...

Very excellent points, I forgot about your Belt of Inertial Barrier which really makes Protection from Energy worth choosing over Protection from Magic Energy. Still, isn't Protection from Elements AND Protection from Energy redundant?

As a die-hard "Mac guy" I hate to say it, but if you've got an Intel Mac there's really no reason not to play BG in Windows. Get yourself a copy (I don't want to know) and go to town in Boot Camp or some virtualization software ...

Thanks very much everyone, all of this helps. It seems really wack for a Sorcerer to get by fine with 9 INT, but oh well .

I think I am going to go with Protection from Evil, Chromatic Orb, Magic Missile, Friends, and Burning Hands.
