Author Topic: Ranger 1st Level Spells! (Read 1276 times)

tobeelijah · « **on:** May 04, 2006, 02:02:28 pm »

I was just curious as to why, if NWN is based off DnD 3.5 ruleset, that once I hit level 4 as a Ranger, I didn't receive my first level spells such as Animal companion. Is the level raised on this server or what. I actually have no clue as to why I didnt get the spell at level up, but I can however buy the scroll and summon a hawk companion. Any help with this issue would be highly appreciated.

NWN is based on 3.0 ruleset.

Do you know what level rangers get their first spell bundle in the 3.0 ruleset? Or a website I can use as a reference unfortunately the only Players guide I own is 3.5. Or better yet got a ranger friend who you could ask "what level he got his first level spells"?

6 I believe.

Thanks, though any more less vague answers from someone else would be helpful.

6 will work, but with a high wis you could already get some at lv4, but I am not sure about it, neither about what the wis has to be to get them on lv4.

As far as I know the only thing Wisdom has to do with spells is you must have a wisdom of 11 for lvl 1 spells and a wisdom if 12 for lvl 2 spells etc. (wisdom greater than or equal to 10+spell level)

Check the NWN_OnlineManual.pdf file in you NWN/docs folder.

The "0's" represent cantrips or lvl 0 spells If I remember correctly, though in DnD I was never aware of such .. but anyway it's not that big of a deal I suppose I will try and make it to lvl 6 and see what happens.

muaddib · « **Reply #10 on:** May 04, 2006, 03:13:40 pm »

0's are not cantrips rangers and paladins dont have them the 0's are the lvl that if you have 14 wisdom at you can have the lvl spell earlier then you could with just the wisdom needed to cast that lvl spell

LORE !!!!! It's all on LORE !!! Thank you, thank you. Thank you very much.

EDIT: and if it's not, we'll put it there.

tobeelijah · « **Reply #12 on:** May 04, 2006, 03:34:38 pm »

I am not sure what you meant by that muaddib, but I have 15 wisdom if it makes a difference

miltonyorkcastle · « **Reply #13 on:** May 04, 2006, 03:39:09 pm »

Muadib is talking about bonus spells. the higher the attribute (in your case wisdom) modifier, the more bonus spells you get. if the spell per day chart has a 0 for the number of spells, it means that you can only cast that level spell if you have a bonus spell for that level.

with a 15 Wis, you should have a bonus spell for 1st and 2nd lvl spells

tobeelijah · « **Reply #14 on:** May 04, 2006, 03:53:42 pm »

Thanks for the clarification. I did see in LORE though that rangers reguardless of modifiers do not get Animal companion until level 6, however if I understood you correctly with a wisdom of 15 which gives me a modifier of +2 at level 4 I should be casting 2 level 1 spells per day, however I have no spells to cast even if I wanted to.

You should. At level 4 with 14 Wisdom my Paladin had a level 1 Spell. They follow the same progression.

Same here, Im a level 5 ranger, and got my first spell at level 4.

open your "spellbook" (press "B")

tobeelijah · « **Reply #18 on:** May 04, 2006, 05:17:31 pm »

Well, with all that said I am now worried if I am bugged. And no offense to captain obvious, aka Milton, but I have checked my spell book. =)
