Hi guys, welcome to the forum [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]
I was going after stoneskin to aid in taking out the bronze sentries in Lower Dorn's, so the TotL scroll wasn't that helpful to me. It's too bad that there aren't more stoneskin scrolls available in the main game, for those of us that like to use more than one arcane caster per party. I tend not to use Otiluke's RS - it's only good for one fight, and casting it on creatures is a hit-and-miss proposition, especially if they have magic resistance and/or high saves. Casting it on yourself takes that character out of the picture - I generally will only cast ORS on myself in the final fight of the game. Further, ORS is less effective with HoW installed; creatures will switch targets instead of pounding on an invulnerable target. It's very good for protecting an injured character, though, especially against area-effect spells.

Thanks for the welcome. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I always use at least 2 arcane casters, sometimes three. So, the major lack of spell scrolls was one of the things I set out to fix with Auril's Bane. That being said, I could easily add one to a shop for the next version of Auril's Bane. Of course, that really won't help you if you don't use MODs. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I had been thinking of creating a mage with a shop in either Easthaven (in the inn) or on the next-to-the-lowest level of Dragon's Eye which offers mage scrolls.
Much to my chagrin, though, is the fact that even though I can successfully create a store I am having trouble getting the mage to show up and initiate dialogue.... If you start a game in HoF mode and begin everyone at level 1, by the time your 5th- to 7th-level mage makes it to Kuldahar you have been running on only a handful of 1st- and 2nd-level spells and you don't have the money to buy many scrolls from Orrick. How sad!
