Description: Eschew Materials I (http://lore.layonara.com/Eschew%20Materials%20I) isn't working for my characters level 3 spell Greater Magic Weapon (http://lore.layonara.com/Greater%20Magic%20Weapon)

You must have a bit of powdered carbon to cast this. O.o :\\

Verified: -
Reproducable: Yes, tried it twice now

GMW requires eschew materials II, beacuse it is a level 4 cleric spell

GMW requires eschew materials II, beacuse it is a level 4 cleric spell
To be even more exact, this situation is described at LORE: Eschew Materials I (http://lore.layonara.com/Eschew%20Materials%20I)
And coincidentally the very same spell is used as an example:
"The highest caster level for a spell is used when applying this feat. For example, Greater Magic Weapon is a third level Bard/Sorcerer/Wizard spell but a fourth level Cleric spell; the material component for this spell is required unless the caster has taken the Eschew Materials II feat."
It's just one of NWN's quirks.

What they said *points up*
The quirk is that NWN doesn't reveal what class is casting a spell when that spell is cast. It's largely irrelevant when a spell only belongs to one particular class, but when it's something like GMW, there's a difference in spell levels between Wizard/Sorcerer and Cleric. In such cases, Eschew always uses the highest spell level across all classes to determine whether or not it applies to any given spell.
