Sorcerer.

I'm making a sorcerer..trained for the long run,I have barely any experience in this and it's probably gonna show..but here is what I came up for stats.
Giantman.

50 Constitution (CO) 100 Strength (ST)
45 Dexterity (DE) 80 Reflex (RE)
40 Discipline (DI) 85 Charisma (CH)
70 Logic (LO) 30 Wisdom (WI)(+10)
40 Intelligence (IN) 100 Aura (AU)(+10)
Physical TP:41
Mental TP:36

Any ideas what I should train in? I still haven't read the post about CM so i'm gonna go do that now..I was hoping to get 2x spell everytime..ugh,i don't know..please post any suggestions you might have.


[A question about wisdom also. If it's low early on,will it still be lower then other sorcerers even when it reaches 100?]

I'm a bit confused by your question. If you start off with a lower wisdom stat that is still capable of reaching 100 within the frame, of course it won't be lower than other sorcerers when it reaches 100 - they will be the same.

If you're asking about mana (which I don't think you really are), your low mana will be made up for and you will have the exact same amount (Level x 3) as someone else who started with a 100 in the stat. Heh, come to think of it, Aura is the mana-determining stat of sorcerers anyway, isn't it?

Heh..Yes I believe so.
I know the question what a bit off..But you answered it exactly as I hoped. But I don't think im going to go through with it..I won't have the will to hunt. And I will probably need spells. I refuse to ask spells from other people. ::shrugs:: reg
actually i believe it is an avg of wisdom and aura for mana for sorcs. i too placed a low wisdom stat (since it grows fast). even with a 90 aura, im getting 2 mana per, not 3 (with one exception where the fraction rounded up). reg
For mana, it's the aura stat, for cs bonus, it's average of wisdom and aura.

If im correct...you dont get 3 mana per lvl unless youre Aura stat is 95+.

Incorrect.

The formula for mana is:

Level*(INT[(Mana Stat-40)/2)]/10)

(where INT means to round down i.e. drop the decimal)

Round the number as normal (.5+ goes up)

Even at 99 in the mana stat, that only yields 2.9 mana per level.

However, with Aura at 95+, you do get 10 spirit. reg

Ahh, thank you for the correction, is this the same way all classes get mana?

As long as you pick the correct stat that is the mana stat, yes.
