[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 4820780, member: 10784"] In response to one of my other threads in this forum, the current group is made up of 3 people with magical abilities - one human cleric, one human sorcerer and one halfling psion. If any of them are hit by "Touch of Idiocy" the spell, I just want some clarification on the effect: The cleric would lose the ability to cast higher level spells - so, if her wisdom went from a 20 to an 17, she would no longer be able to cast level 9 & 8 spells. Would she also lose her bonus spells associated with the higher Wisdom? I would say yes. After the duration expires, does she get the bonus spells back, or does she need to re-learn them? Similarly, if the Sorcerer's CHA dropped from 20 to a 16, he would no longer be able to cast levels 7, 8 and 9 spells, and would lose any bonus spells associated with the high charisma. So, instead of having two first level bonus spells, and one each of levels 2-5, he would only have one bonus spell of levels 1-3. If the psion's intelligence went from a 21 to an 18, he would no longer be able to use level 9 powers. Would he also temporarily lose all the bonus power points he gets from a high INT? Thanks [/QUOTE]
