Since my Imonen probably won't reach 9th level casting ability by game's end, can I still win?

Of course you can. Time Stop is yet another powerful spell - it is, by no means, crucial or essential. Other powerful spells abound.

In fact, you CAN win without using any spells - numerous fighter soloists can confirm [img]smile.gif[/img]

And without ToB or an XP-cap remover, you won't be able to get that spell anyway.

And this is post #4 saying that no, you don't need the spell to beat that battle or any other in the game, for that matter. It just makes things a heckuva lot easier.

Just a tiny nitpick, Pirengle: Arcane scrolls (including Time Stop, obviously) have no INT/WIS requirements whatsoever. As long as the character can cast arcane spells (or has UAI), he/she will be able to cast from a scroll.
Interesting trivia 1: Spells casted from scrolls are always casted at level 10 (=as if casted by a level 10 caster), even if the character who's reading it is level, say, 16. Interesting trivia 2: Scrolls seem to be ForceSpell'd - which practically means that you can cast from scrolls even if you're silenced, deafened, insect-plague'd, etc, etc... Especially useful when solo! [ 05-19-2003, 01:30 PM: Message edited by: Alson ]

Cool, Alson !
Very useful information up there. Is this written anywhere (Spell guide, Manual, ...) or just tested ?

I've read #1 somewhere... I think it was in the Imp. Ilyich README, advising you to let Imoen cast those scrolls (as Imoen's level is most likely lower than 10).
As for #2 - I discovered it myself, but I'm sure others have already noted it before. ADD] Isn't trivia fun? [img]smile.gif[/img] [ 05-19-2003, 02:09 PM: Message edited by: Alson ]
