    [​IMG] When I got TOB, I wondered if Wild Mages were in IWD2 and if there will still be a chance for a Wild Surge, so will there? :confused:

    Wild Mages - no.
    Wild Magic areas/effects - perhaps.

    [​IMG] There are however 'sorcerers', as per the 3E D&D rules. Much better than those wild mages, IMO. No wild surges, spells are based on Charisma score (not Intelligence), don't need to prepare spells before hand, and have a better selection of weapons/armour than straight-up wizards.

    Actually, sorcerers no longer outclass wizards in third edition rules. They can not cast the same level spells as an equivilant level wizard. They can cast more per day, yes, but they usually don't get a spell level until one level higher than a wizard.

    :yot: Whoa whoa, hold on...sorcerers' spells are based on Charisma?

    Does that mean amount of spells or how often they can cast them?

    Faerus, Sorcerers use Cha, to determine how often they can cast spells per day. They get a fixed number of spells per spell level, that never changes.
