Hi I'm a newbie to both Icewind Dale 2 and this forum

I have real irritating problem with my sorceror.....I can't get him to cast spells!!!!

the level one spells I have chosen are grayed out and the tool tip says that they are "beyond caster ability" or something like that! I know there must be something obvious I haven't done.


THanks for the help in advance.

he, if you would have read a bit down you would have seen a thread i made thats exacly the same problem
your scorcerer probably has low charisma and he needs more
get Dale Keeper 2 if you want to edit, or start over

thanks

Thanks man.

I'll remember to look harder next time before posting.

Are you not allowed to create your class before choosing attributes? The class screen details what the required attributes are.

Charisma affects a Sorceror's spells' DC ("Difficulty Class"), which directly affects how hard it is for enemies to save against their spells.

To make the most powerful sorceror you need either:

A human with 18 Char

or:

an Aasimar with 20 Char and 12 int

A wind elf makes a decent sorceror as well, but not as good as the human and Aasimar can be.

If you are going to have a spellcaster-heavy party, you may as well have both a human sorceror and an aasimar sorc, to get the best of both worlds.

When having 2 spellcasters i wouldnt suggest 2 sorcerers but a sorcerer and a plain wizzard or an wizzardspecialist.

Also elfs make good sorcerers cause they start with the abilaty to use bows
