Does wisdom affect spell failure % for arcane spells too? i did go through the table in the book but it doesnot specify the above.

As far as I know it doesn't.

Na, wisdom doesn't affect arcane casters in anyway. A *lot* of casters have below 13 wisdom (0% spell failure), including Edwin, Immy and Nalia, and I've yet to see one of them fizzle a spell unless they're struck during the casting.

And ye, welcome.

Not really. The attributes you need to look out for if you're playing with a spellcaster are charisma (for sorcerers) and intelligence (for wizards).

Afaik the Charisma attribute was never implemented in BG II. So... Sorcereses doesnt' really have need any attribute.

Wisdom only affects lore and the choices you get when using Wish or Limited Wish.
