Anomen starts out with a Wisdom score of 12. If he has a score of 16 now, then he has gotten an item that raised his score by 4 points. That is why the Wisdom score is in red. A red attribute score means that ability has been modified by an item or spell on that character.

What happened that caused him to lose his spellcasting ability? Which battle were you in just before you noticed this problem? The only two reasons I can think of that Anomen (or any other spellcaster) could no longer cast ANY spells is that he either cast ALL of his memorized spells already OR he has been "Silenced" by a spell-effect or item. Both of these would prevent spellcasting. But if you have rested for a full 8 hours, BOTH of those causes should have been eliminated. He would have regained his memorized spells and the duration of the "Silence" would have long since worn off.

As for your paladin, there is no reason he shouldn't be your best front-line fighter - especially with an Avenger sword. Minsc is a good tank and monks are strong characters too, but a paladin should be able to hold his own with either of these characters. If you are blasting your enemies with spells from your sorcerer, then NONE of your fighter types are going to make large contributions to your kill total. But a paladin is designed to be a front-line tank. Give him the best armor you can find and a good sword and he should be smiting enemies right and left. He also should have enough hit points to withstand a lot of the damage enemies deal out. With Minsc, Anomen and your monk available to "share" the damage dealt out by enemies, there is no reason your paladin shouldn't have as many kills (if not more) than the rest of the party.
