    In the class discription for the sorceror, it stated that sorcerors dont learn spells from scrolls, they get to choose them. I just bought IWD2 yesterday and made my first party.

    Dwarf Fighter
    Elf Ranger
    Half-orc Barbarian
    Halfling Rogue
    Human Cleric
    Elf Sorceror (I think hes an elf)

    My entire party got to level 2. When i clicked on level up for my sorceror it didn't allow me to choose new spells. Did i do something wrong? When do i get to choose new spells?
    Any help will be greatly apreciated.

    [​IMG] Sorcerers spells are charisma based. How high is your Elf's Charisma score?

    Spell level is based on a 10+ ability score. Meaning, if you want to be able to cast 9th level spells, you need a Charisma score of 19, 4th level spells = 14, etc....

    Just a quick reminder:

    Cleric & Paladin & Druid spell levels are based on Wisdom

    Wizards are based on Intelliegence

    Bards and Sorcerers are Charisma based.

    Hope that helps.

    If you have the manual then check out the socerers spell progression table in the back. A socerer starts out with 2 1st level spells. If I remember correctly, you can add another 1st level spell at 3rd level and a 2nd level spell at 4th. Either way, spell progression for sorcerers is slow, but they are worth it so keep leveling up and eventually you will pick up some more spells (also remember your charisma needs to be high enough to allow access to the spell, i.e. CHAR 12 for 2nd level, 13 for 3rd, etc...).

    Check the table in the manual or see if someone has posted something about spell progression for sorcerers on the board.

    Thank you, that helps a lot. I was just a little worried when i didn't get any spells, thought I screwed my Sorceror up or something. Also i think my charisma is 18, 19, or 20 i don't remember really.

    If your charisma is that high then you have nothing to worry about. So don't sweat it, there are some levels where you will not get to pick any new spells and then there are some levels where you will pick 2 or 3 new spells.

    Also, if you find yourself picking a lot of evocation spells (and I sure did) then try to get the spell focus: evocation feat as soon as you can. Spell penatration is good, and so are spirit flame, aegis of rime, and aqua mortis, but those really depend on your spell selection...
