Newbie spell question

[Tiela]

Hi, I'm just starting this game, and I have a question about the spells you start the game with. I created a druid and gave her a ton of wisdom (18 pts) so she could cast spells. I chose four level one spells, and then 2 level 2 spells (I was only offered the choice of spells I'd already chosen). I started the game, but I notice that when I click on the "spell" button (moon and stars), I only have the choice of two spells. The others don't show at all.

Even weirder, I just loaded up my game to be sure that I had my facts straight, and now when I click on the spell button, I have a choice of 3 spells, not 2, and one that was there before is now gone. I haven't cast any spells, because I just started the game.

Can anyone explain why this is? I don't have any patches, so I'm wondering if it's a bug, or I just don't understand the spell system.

I have never made a druid in iwd2, but it seems to me that the 2 you chose later are the ones memorized, the ones you can cast.

Anyway this is the way wizards work and the nly possible explanation as i see it...the other thing seems wierd, are you sure that's what happened?

All that sounds a little strange to me. Druids and Clerics have to memorize spells, but they always know all spells of a particular level. So your Druid should know all first-level Druid spells, even though you can only choose a couple to have ready.

Also that business of the spells changing/disappearing sounds very much like a bug.

I'd suggest starting a new game and creating a new Druid to see if the problem persists. If it does, you may want to go to the official IWD2 boards and check the tech support there for help.

Seems I never get tired of making a fool of myself on these boards! Anyway, I checked the spells of two different characters. My wizard has three spells, and the druid has two. I got them mixed up in my previous post.

It sounds like this is where I got confused. I thought you could have all four of the spells you picked ready to go. I really am a newbie at this game, so I didn't understand that. Thanks for your help!
