[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 304480, member: 478"] I'm currently playing my second character in NWN, a half-elven cleric/rogue (really cool combination, btw, with animal and trickery domains). When I advanced to 16th level (cleric13/rogue3), I had the option to increase strength to 17 or wisdom to 18. Now I thought, I have this periapt of wisdom in my backpack, so I don't really need that high wisdom, so I opted for strength instead (17 goes nicely with an empowered bull's strength). Later when I got to 18th level (cleric15/rogue3), I noticed, however, that this was a really bad decision, because the access to higher level spells is dependant on the basic stat (wisdom 17 is not enough for 8th level spells, and the periapt of wisdom didn't exactly help there). Well, well, luckily I still had the character saved from prior to 16th level, so I could go back and correct my error... lost 2 levels, but that's not really that much of an issue compared to never being able to cast 9th level spells (and 8th level only at level 20)! ;) Just wanted to warn other players out there... plan your caster attribute accordingly (not that important on a single class character, that will most probably have a high main stat anyways, but moreso on a multiclass character), so you don't run into similar problems!
