Even though it makes all the sense in the world, that rule is not implemented in the game. Your pureclass Mage can walk around with a feeble 9 INT and still be just as effective a spellcaster as if he were twice that smart. According to BG, INT only matters while you are in the act of scribing spells. And for Lore and some conversation responses. [/QUOTE]Arrrgh! Now you tell me. That will teach me to believe what it says in the book and not test it. My favourite archane spell caster is a sorcerer, so int does not matter. Imoen I stick in Lom's machine for the extra int point, and I've never taken Aerie through ToB just because of her 16 int. I've had her cast time-stop etc from scrolls at the end of SoA. You'd have thought that I would have tested the rule out just once! ***walks away to find a wall to bang my head on"""
