*for classes relying on magic, most important stat affects how many spells and how strong of spells one may cast. Divine magic needs wisdom, arcane magic needs int, except sorcerers who need charisma.

**any class and race combo is legal, tho it may be most effective. make sure you make a char that you like and fits you!!!

***for classes with only limited magical capabilities, spells are only available once you have attained a certain lvl. You cant get them right off for these classes.

****Ask Jaegar or me if you want help deciding what kind of char to make, or how to make them. were happy to hlp

*****yay! 5 star post!!!

That's a pretty good summary. You left out the non-ability racial bonuses (which are very important) but that's understandable because there are a lot of them. I also noticed a typo Paladins cast magic using wisdom, not charisma. Charisma affects everything else

duly noted and fixed. thanks jaegar.
yeah i left out th racial stuff, cuz its like, infravision, depth knowledge, and a million other things for everything. i can add them in if you want. i was in a hurry yesterday, cuz it took a long time to type out and look up, and i wanted o get all the other stuff you saw done. ill leave it out for now. just tell me if you want it in, and ill put it so to keep all info in 1 post and therefore easier to find.

thanks alot, i tried hard to put all important stuff as breif as possible.
