RoyalProtector Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 (edited) Hello, modders and users alike. I've just noticed that in IWDEE, it seems that spells improve beyond level 20 and up to 30, at least. For example, Spell Deflection, at level 30, lasts for 540 seconds (9 minutes), which is a lot. In BG2EE, this is not the case. Spells either have a clearly defined limit (like Fireball), or always stops scaling at level 20 (or 18, for unknown reasons, such as with Phantom Blade). I'm wondering if anyone can chime in as to why this would be case, and also, if you think that mirroring the behavior in IWDEE would cause any trouble or game imbalance. I'm not convinced it would. Honestly, it rather annoys me that it stops there, especially considering spells that lasts for a short time, and "scale" slowly per level. In the case of damaging spells, I can see why it should stay this way (such as Horrid wilting, 30d8 damage is fairly insane and broken). Cheers! Edited July 28 by RoyalProtector Quote Link to comment
Connelly Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 As I understand, the 20-30 difference between BG and IWD has a lore reason: IWD happened before the Times of Troubles when the cap was 30. The ToT go through, and then Mystra imposes a lv20 cap. Enter BG... Quote Link to comment

(Also, I just realized this is not the right forum to ask about this -- although I can see making a mod out of this viable) Edited July 28 by RoyalProtector Quote Link to comment
Connelly Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Doesn't mean that you can't refine how spells scale in general or in particular, though! Quote Link to comment
RoyalProtector Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 True, though I never liked that it doesn't matter whether you're multiclassed or pure class, because both will have the highest possible spell level by the end. (But of course, they get there at a vastly slower speed). Quote Link to comment
