is there any potion spell item or anything whatever to increase wisdom above 18... the only way is through one tests in hell... any other way... it seems to be the only atribute which cant be raised above 18

short answer no

but if you play though Bg1 there is three tomes of wisdom, which means that you can start bg2 with WIS=21

and in BG2+ToB you can get another 2 points of Wisdom => WIS=23!

nice if you're a cleric [img]smile.gif[/img]

Not permanently, no... But I believe there are potions in the game to increase it temporarily. Not sure which one... Potion of Insight?

potion of insight only sets it at 18. so, if you have 23, then it'll decrease it by 5 (not good). it makes perfect sense from a roleplaying perspective. How can a potion make you more wise than is naturally possible for any of the major races?

Also, fighter-types with the 3 wisdom tomes, hell, and the MoLTM can increase it to 24 with the Axe of Hrothgar from Joluv in the Copper Coronet. however, unless you're a priest/druid, having wisdom over 15 only helps with lore. at 15 you get a small saving throws bonus, which is very good.

Natural = 18
3 Tomes in BG1 = 21
Hell = 22
Machine of Lum the Mad = 23

AND EITHER
Deck of Many Things = 24 (Must be a Priest, don't know about Multiclassed Priests)
OR
Axe of Hrothgar = 24 (Not usable by Priests)

So the max is 24, unless perhaps you're doing Use Any Item with a Cleric/Thief, and Gnomes can't get 18 WIS anyway, so you're stuck with a Half-Orc swinging a weapon he can't put any proficiency points in. Still, 25 WIS is the only way to get extra Level 7 spells.
