Arcane Archers??

robertthebard · 06-20-2003, 07:56 AM

Has any one found anything about whether the ability to cast 1st lvl spells has to be innate, or if casting from scrolls would count? Haven't found anything myself yet, but would like to know.

I don't think casting spells from scrolls would work, though I don't have SoU yet but it wouldn't make any sense. In P&P they have to be able to cast it innately.

I dont have SoU yet ether but is the arcane archer like the one in Dark Alliance?

Don't know for sure, but since DA is an offshoot of BG, probably.

I just got SoU, but haven't had a chance to install or play it yet. In PnP DnD your Arcane Archer must have spent enough time as a Wizard, Bard or Sorcerer to be able to cast 1st level arcane spells from memory. Basically have one level as one of those three classes. They have other reqiurments as well. Elf only, +6 Base Attack Bonus etc... They had to be 7th level before they could start as an Arcane Archer.

It wouldn't count as then the the Rogue class would also be eligible. You know, the 'Use Magic Device' skill...

robert, I think you should multi-class to Druid. What level are you? The spider is trying to tell you something silly!

Druid's rule this expansion to NWN! So many animals to help and talk to not to mention how many I can summon to my aide in tight situations.

no, no no, I could never do it...Actually, I've only ever really played one bard in any of the Bioware games. I really am a bard. Besides, rangers and Dr. Dolittle can talk to animals too. New class, Veterinarian Monk.
