    Is there any item that would increase my intelligence permanently by +1?
    I have 18 int, but i always need to dring those worthless potions to copy extra spells into my book.

    [​IMG] Heh! I'd say those potions aren't so worthless if you're using them all the time! :)

    Yepp! Potions are especially useful to dope Aerie, enabling her to learn spells.

    The BG-1 tomes were really quite nice features: You could get +1 for every stat except wisdom and +2 for wisdom. Good old days.

    Hmm, I have never played as a mage but the NPC mages with an INT of 17 never seem to fail, so at 18 you have little problem.

    Does anybody know if increased int does any good if your're allready at 18 (e.g: lower chance of failure???)

    ...yes indeed! The chance of failure drops from 15% to 5% plus there's no more limit on the max spells writable (is 18 with INT 18). Whether the P&P-INT19-Immunity against 1st level Illusions is implemented I don't know. Don't have such brainers in my party.

    I played a Sorceror with 19 in INT, and I never noticed she can see 1st level Illusions. Well, There are only 3 spells in the Illusion School at the 1st level. And usually, they are not used a lot by monsters.

    You don't get failure in normal or novice mode.

    I always play novice because my team dies in normal.
