I have a question about SOA, first of all I would like to know if I wanted to be a very powerful spell caster what class should I go to. I've heard people say sorcerers are good, but my first instinction was to pick a mage so I'm kind of confused. I don't have SOA yet but I hope to have it very soon in the upcoming week. I hope I can be welcomed on the forums as I will be a regular visitor in the upcoming years SOA will consume of my life [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sorcerers can cast more spells per days, do not have to memorize them, giving the the ability to cast any spells from the spellbook as soon as they need it, and they do not need to find/buy scrolls to learn new spells.

and I wouldnt recommend being a sorcerer cause it is likely u will make wrong spell choices :( ... I no i did :(

What do you mean a wrong spell choice?

What he means is that sorcerors get to choose spells when they level up. Mages on the other hand get extra spell slots. But a sorceror can only have at most about 5 or 6 spells of a level. So you might make a wrong choice.

Yes.... so if u make a wrong choice with a sorcerer ur stuck with it... with a mage however there is alot more flexibility (especially in ToB with the spell deletion option)

Lesson of the day, stick to a Mage if you want to use magic, unless you know the magic system by heart in the game, in which case, choose the Sorcerer.

I'd suggest a sorc, but first do a search here on the word "sorceror," and look at the opinions everybody has for good spells to memorize. [img]smile.gif[/img] As an example: you definitely don't want to memorize the Summon Familiar spell. You only need to cast it once (optimally) in a game, so it would be far easier to locate a scroll and read it. The spells a sorc learns should be the spells they plan on using repeatedly.

Im soloing a sorcerer right now, with Vicky for romance, and its goin quite smoothly..ive only died once and im on the last chapter :D

I'd say mage... they get a larger spell selection, and that is very useful, especially later on... *shrug* Also, I think at higher levels it sort of evens out more, since you know what to expect and the spell memorization isn't as much of a problem then... *shrug*
