ZFR just so I can understand exactly where you're info comes from, did you arrive at your conclusion through the manual/ PNP rule set, or through your actual experiences with the game?

[ZFR]

actual in game experience.

But its in the manual too.

Originally posted by ZFR: no. six is not correct. intelligence also affects the number of spells per level you can scribe.

Ah, yes, technically that's true, but since there's no reason for any Mage* to try scribing spells with less than 24 INT, I feel this has little relevance. If you want to include it, however, that's fine.

*Except Wizard Slayer->Mages, but since they're guaranteed at least 17 INT, they won't see this rule much either.

Sorry, Brainless One, I misread your post--I thought you said the # of spells per level that a Mage could cast was dependent on Intelligence. My bad.

I thought that the 2nd edition rules on maximum spell level are implemented for the PC. I've never played a mage with intelligence 17, but I was led to believe that such a mage would only have access to level 1-8 spells, not level 9 spells. I do know that the NPCs have access to all spell levels, regardless of intelligence.

Believe it or not Six, some of us do play mages without resorting to scribing cheese like potions of genius [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I don't regard buffing my Mages before scribing spells as cheesy, certainly not as cheesy as some things that your enemies do, like casting True Sight even though they're Conjurers. Considering that I never use Mislead, Project Image, or any spell-storage spells, and Simulacrum only very rarely, I think chugging a few Potions of Genius seems rather negligible.

Besides, I always use natural rolls for my characters, and it's tough enough getting good DEX and CON for everybody without making sure that all Mages roll their maximum in INT, as well.
