I'm playing the SoU, i reached undrentide, but i'm having a hard time fighting inside the book in the library, is there any easier way?

I also want to know how to recover form Level Drain... i'm level drained for a long time.

(My char is a sorcerer 5 Disciple of Red Dragon 5)

Thanks

(Forgive any grammar errors)

Well, you'd have to find a priest type character, or so I would assume.

I don't think I've ever been level drained in NWN.

There is no other way as far as I know. You'll have to tough it up (or rush through) to the book. You can't however avoid all the fights.

level drain can be fixed by using restoration spells, potions etc. like in other rpgs. or if you go to a cleric npc they can usually heal you.

level drain needs High restore, so a potion it's not enough and there are no cleric in Undrentide city.
SPOILER

you have to buy a spell from the aasabi store.

Killing the Wisdom Wind it's not easy as a sorcerer/wizard
it suffers only magic damage

You can get allies for that fight, which may help a bit.

as a sorceror type character, the missile storm spells are very handy for things like that if you have it.

might i suggest that it was stupid to go sorc 5 and red dragon 5 so early? right now my sorc is sitting at

20 Sorc
1 Barbarian (buffer for the beginning of the game to give me better weapons, armor skills, and a few extra hit points... not to mention barbarian rage if i need to go one on one- which i can do)
1 Red Dragon Disciple (I don't get any more spells for levelling up as a sorc, so i'm adding all new levels as a RDD)

The reason I mention this is because at levels 5 each for the area you're at in SoU, both of those traits are pretty worthless. You'd better have a good fighter familiar and dorna should be your henchman, levelled solely as a cleric rather than as a rogue/cleric. Otherwise you're pretty screwed. If you run through to the books, that's fine, but you're going to want to (spoiler) get the ink and pen at least so that you can rewrite the end of the book and go through the book again. by doing this you can convince the characters in the book to help you fight the wind, which sad to say you are going to have to do b/c as a 5/5 sorc, RDD, you aren't going to beat the wind of wisdom.

My suggestion to you is to level up in Sorc until you're casting AT LEAST scintillating spheres, ice storms, etc... i'd even go up to where you can cast horrid wilting before leveling any more in RDD if i were you. specialized characters who make use of good party formation are alot stronger than unspecialized, the only reason you go broad spectrum is if you're going it alone.

I don't agree with that - I've played SOU loads of times and have finished it as level 5 sorceror/level 5 RDD/level 2 thief before. It just takes a different style of play. If you can't cast a spell you need, you can use scrolls. In NWN and its expansions there are no right and wrong characters. The most powerful build is not always the best or most fun build. In fact, I get bored these days as a level 20 sorceror because its just so unbalanced and ends up being far too easy no matter what difficulty setting you use.
