Being long time absent from game playing I was in a hurry to jump into the action. I created myself (what I thought) was a good paladin character and got underway.

Unfortunetly I just realized my intelligence is so low (11) I can't memorize any spells. Do I stand a chance to complete the game? Can I edit my character and raise his intelligence to a decent level?

thanks

Hello and welcome, Auvel!

Paladins use clerical spells, so they use Wisdom, not Intelligence. I've played Paladins with low Int, and never had a problem.

You'll start getting spells around level 9, if I recall correctly. Don't worry until then

Yes, what Nifft said is correct, as far as I know.
But if it really bothers you to have such low int, you can, if you're completely desperat, use Shadowkeeper to raise your int.
And even if you couldnt remember any priest-spells, you'll have no problem going through the game. The paladin is a very powerful class, and in my opinion, the priest-spells is completely unnecessary.

see ya!

Bit [img]graemlins/offtopic.gif[/img] maybe, but just for comparison: in AD&D 2nd E rules, which are used by BG, 8 is Human average for each stat. So, basically, 11 ain't that bad at all.

I agree, 11 INT is perfectly adequate for a warrior.

Not true, there are many useful spells upto level 4 for paladins, to name a few, armour of faith (cast with hardiness = 65% physical resistance) Protection from fire will be really useful in ToB, negative plane protection is really useful for vampire hunting and remove curse is useful when playing with the deck of many things to name a few.

Hmm, I have to quote ya again.
I said that IN MY OPINION, the priest spells is unnecessary. I regret saying completely unnecessary, but I still think they are'nt necessary.
Phew, that was alot of "necessary"s!

Jim · 01-17-2002, 02:43 PM
