A question, why can we only have 5 spell slots per level? That is, without items to increase your spell slot levels. I notice that Edwin can have...alot...in all the levels, is Edwin just special, or did I do something wrong?

I said it before and ill say it again Edwin is just the best mage in the game! But it could have to do with that necklace he wears....

A) He gets bonus spells because he is a conjurer. (1 per lvl)
B) He has an 18 for intelligence. (doesn't affect number of memorised spells, but does number of known spells)
C) He has an extra 2 per level because of his amulet.

I suspect the reason you have 5 spell slots is because the original designers (of AD&D or BG, I'm not sure who's responsible) didn't want mages to become the single most cheese/power class on earth, totally eclipsing every single other class (ever seen Edwin at 8 mill XP? Then you will know of what I speak) [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I just used the editor to see Edwin at 8 million experience...he's a fricken god...

Basiclly every Mage is a God.


Sorcerer is the most powerful God and one version of <u>NUCLEAR HELL!</u>

Umm..."look at me, I'm a first level mage with magic missile!!!". You call that a god?

Yeah even with MM. They can be powerful you know. Especially on high levels-like a Sorcerer. With HLA`s,Robe Of Vecna,Amulet Of Power you are just too powerful. I played Ascension with a party of Cavalier,Sorcerer and ToB NPC. We batteld him a loong time,then i used my Sorcerer`s skils. Time Stop beggins,time stopps end,certain dragon lies dead on the floor. :D
