Baldur's Gate - Best Sorcerer spell selection for BG Trilogy with Ascension and SCS
551Hello everyone! In this video I'm sharing my list of what I consider to be the best sorcerer spell selection for the Baldur's Gate trilogy with the Ascension and SCS mods when playing with a party. (Full list below the timestamps)
This is something that can definitely be confusing when first starting out with a Sorcerer, so hopefully this can help someone :)
If you've never played Baldur's Gate before I would recommend playing around with a Mage before diving into a Sorcerer.
Timestamps for spell levels:
00:00 Intro
02:50 Level 1
10:12 Level 2
17:01 Level 3
24:53 Level 4
33:22 Level 5
41:20 Level 6
50:32 Level 7
57:05 Level 8
1:02:35 Level 9
1:12:00 High Level Abilities
Spell List per Level (ordered):
Level 1: Shield, Blindness, Magic Missile, Spook, Protection from Petrification
Note: Cast a Summon Familiar from a scroll and stick him in your backpack for the HP bonus.
Level 2: Web, Mirror Image, Invisibility, Detect Invisibility, Blur
Level 3: Slow/Spell Thrust, Skull Trap, Remove Magic, Melf's Minute Meteors, Protection from Fire
Note: If playing with a Dragon Disciple take something else instead of Protection from fire e.g. Haste or Fire arrow.
Level 4: Stoneskin, Greater Malison, Spirit Armor, Improved Invisibility
Note: If you feel you prefer having Greater Malison on one of your other casters, consider something like Minor Spell Sequencer or Vitriolic Sphere.
Level 5: Breach, Spell Immunity, Lower Resistance, Spell Shield
Note: If you don't really care about relying on magic damage and have a nice physical damage dealing party, consider taking Chaos or Cloudkill instead of Lower Resistante.
Level 6: Improved Haste, Protection from Magical Weapons, Protection from magic energy, Pierce Magic/Power Word: Silence
Level 7: Spell Sequencer, Ruby Ray of Reversal, Project Image, Spell Turning
Level 8: Horrid Wilting, Spell Trigger, Power Word: Blind
Level 9: Time Stop, Chain Contingency, Spellstrike/Wish
HLAs: Improved Alacrity/Summon Planetar, Dragon's Breath, whichever you want to play with here.
