    You cleric gets all their spells for free when you reach the required level. Clerics don't write magic from scrolls.

    Neither do sorcerers, and sorcerers didn't write from scrolls in BG2 either. Sorcerers can only pick a limited amount of spells per level.That's the point of having a sorcerer, they cast more often but can not learn from scrolls (leading to a less diverse selection of spells).

    Dual classed her with wizard now... it was the first time ever I used a sorcerer and to be honest I'm not so happy with her :rolleyes:

    I have Icewind Dale triologypack and just the ID II but no manuel wich I must have displaced somehow that's why I posted this question.

    Thanks to you both for the quick reply :)

    Any idea when a dualclassed Sorcercer/Wizard can spell Fireball ? I suppose the class wizard should be 2 or 3 ?

    You can download the manual from the IWD2 section at sorcerers.net. Dualclassing sorcerers or mages cripples them, even a freshly created character is better.
    Sorcerers/bards need only cha, cleric/druids only wis and wizards only int for spellcasting. I wouldn't create a casting character with less than 18 in his casting attribute.

    Sorc\Wiz

    All that's been said are good points, however... As has been pointed out in some excellent character creation writeups on this site and elswhere, there is a valid reason for Sorc\Wiz build.
    If you create a specialist wizard you get extra spells in your school of choice, but cannot cast any from the opposing school(s). By taking one level of Sorcerer you can eliminate the restriction and can now cast from any school of magic.

    In the same vein, even if Specialist Wizard/Bard doesn't remove the school restrictions, it allows the creation of rather symbiotical diplomat character AND allows the character to use the Golden Arc bow. Originally I thought that's for warrior classes only, excluding paladins also. Not to mention you'd actually utilize BOTH the bonuses of the Master's Robe.
