Ranger Magic

Tigerfire · 09-17-2002, 05:56 PM

Okay here is the situation. I have 2 rangers. One can use spells. The other can memorize spells but he can't use them. If I click on the spell it says it is beyond the skill of the ranger. I have tried taking off all of his equipment. Still nothing. I just don't understand why he can memorize the spell if it is beyond his skill to cast it.

Not that my rangers really cast spells all that often. It's just nice to have a fire type spell handy for those stupid trolls.

So, anyone else having this problem?

Tigerfire:

I didn't have trouble (i think) using my Ranger's spells, but on a similar note...

My Rogue could not use her pickpocket ability without having the proper skill or feat. So, next time you level up, read about all the skills (i'm pretty sure feats don't matter with spell casting ability) until one sounds right.

Hope to help

What is your Wisdom?

Unlike 2nd Ed, you can only cast spells if your spell casting ability score is 10 plus the spell level. Thus, a Ranger would need a Wisdom of 12 to cast 2nd level spells.

Okay... I think the wisdom is only at 10. That would explain not being able to cast spells... Still it leaves the question of "If I can't cast it, Why can I memorize it?"

I guess it will be a while before these games get it all figured out.

thanks for the info.
