I want to change the Sorcerer's spell selection table!

Hi folks,

as in my opinion the sorcerer is way to similar to the mage, I want to change the Sorcerer's spell selection table, as he levels up - does anybody know how to do this?

My plan is to give the Sorcerer class a whole new look & feel, i.e.:

The sorcerer shouldn't have to choose the normal mage spells when levelling up. Instead I want to create a bunch of new, evil abilities that are truly unique and powerful. This could be powerful servants which he can summon or curses with a "damage over time" effect.


*I'd be very thankful if anybody knows how to edit the spell selection screen from which a sorcerer can choose the spells he learns, when he gains a new level!*

    No response? :-(
    Please, @CameronTofer or Ascension64 - does one of you know if modding the sorcerer's spell selection selection screen is possible / will be possible in the future?

    I'm sure it wouldn't be a big problem to *externalize the spells into a 2DA file* (*BEG, BEG!*), similar to what the TobEX did with the HP charts for all classes, right?
    TobEx basically externalized the hardcoded values for the sorcerer HP table into a 2da file (HPCLASSES.2DA - there you could define a specific 2.da file for the sorcerer's HP table).

    Could you do the same with the spell selection for the sorcerer? With doing so people would be able to create a truly unique class with own spells instead of just being "another strange version of the mage".

    It should be possible in the future, at least to add new spells known. See the BG2 mod 'Druidic Sorcerer' for an example.
