Question about mages

01-12-2001, 05:01 PM

Being a wizard, does your wisdom effect the amount of spells you can memorize per spell level. Ex. If i had a wizard with 15wisdom and a wizard with 18wisdom, would the wizard with 18wisdom gain more spell slots per level?

If this dosent sound right maybe some one can explain how wisdom effects the wizard?

Thank you...

NO
The attribute that gives a wizard more slots and more spell learning ability is intelligence, wisdom is for clerics.
The only effect it could have in a mage might be in lore, but Im not sure.

Wisdom is primarily of benefit to priests. The extra spells are only given to clerics and druids, not mages. The extra spells are concurrent, i.e. at wisdom 18 a priest will get 2 extra 1st, 2 extra 2nd, 1 extra 3rd, and 1 extra 4th level spells.

I believe a wizard gets the lore bonus but that's it. (maybe the spell failure at low wisdom?)

Ah yes... Intelligence is the key for Mages, however, Wisdom is good too. It is good because the higher your Wisdom score is, the less susceptible you are to illusion and mind control (I think you get a saving throw bonus against mind control stuff...).
