    Nope, Paladins don't get Raise Dead. They can't even cast it from a scroll. As for other Clerical spells you'll miss out on, check the manual. There are quite a few IIRC.

    I would suggest maybe multi-classing a fighter to a cleric instead of using a Paladin. A Paladin won't replace a Cleric when it comes to healing spells. That goes for a Druid as well. Paladins are pretty weak when it comes to divine spell casting. There are a few threads about a Paladins spell casting ablities on the boards. Do a search. Maybe that'll help you out a bit more.

    I think that the main good thing about a Paladin is the sword you get later and that if you are a real boyscout (so few) then this is a natural role to play (you know that most actors cannot act, they just play themselves). Also, he gets diplomacy skill as a one and where else would you want to put his skill points?

    Easier said than done.
    The spells aren't included in the manual I have (European/UK). You have to open "IDALE2-M-BOS&T-ENG.pdf" which is on one of the cd's to find out about the spells.

    Full price games coming without complete printed documentation p*sses me off! :mad:

    I see. Well I'm guessing Bluerose is in the same boat as you Earl.

    That's ridiculous. I can see why you'd be a bit peeved. I should be happy that I do indeed have a complete manual even though the first 15-20 pages fell out not even a week after I had it. Cheap piece of crap.

    On that note, did anyone ever send the manual in pdf format to SP? I don't have it on my legit copy of the game and I sure could use a copy.

    The manual is on CD1. And, does collector's edition include full printed manual?

    Bluerose, yes they are useful, especially when they reach level 11 (War Chant of Sith). I usually multiclass my bards to sorcerers.

    [​IMG] There is no full manual on any CD. Only the spells & tables excerpt that EG is talking about, and that's on SP already.
