thank you both for your answers
a further question tho (as always)
you both seem to have excellent items can these be got without charming?
and should i go for broke and go for charm 5?
the most i have seen is a four slot charmable piece.
also a good idea to go for curse <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
i wanted to be a pure fighter tbh when i started but after finding some magic books i am enjoying that side of it,so i want to spend a few skill points there and therefore will need to increase my mana pool.
or maybe i should just start a new game as a all out mage?
