Is it just my bad luck, or is the chance to learn a spell in BG2 actually a lot lower than what it says on the character info screen? A mage or bard with 18 INT should have an 85% chance to learn a spell but at least one third of the spell scrolls I write fail. If I drink a Potion of Genius I get a 97% chance to learn the spell, but still fail to learn 10% to 20% of the spell scrolls I read.
This is VERY annoying when you spend several thousand GP on a high-level spell. The only solution seems to be to save before you read each scroll, then reload if it fails - cheesy I know, but it saves a lot of gold and frustration.
Am I just unlucky, or are the % to learn stats displayed by the game inaccurate?
