Failed Spell Action - help.

[Sanvigian]

Any idea why my favored soul cant cast lvl 1 divine favor...14wis/10cha? Keeps saying failed spell action, ability score too low. Also, in the tavern, it wont allow me to put the spells in the bottom of the page.

What did i do wrong?

need 11 ch? Can you cast any lvl 1 spells? Keep in mind that the FVS ability stat is Cha not wisdom. Wis affects the DCs.

You need a charisma score of 10 + spell level to cast a spell as a Favored Soul. So either find a +1 item or wait until level 2 and take the Charisma I enhancement. Keep in mind that you will eventually need a Charisma score of 19(Easy to obtain, even starting with a 10) to case 9th level spells.

Yup, this is it.

OP, to cast spells for any class you need your need your casting stat to be 10+spell level or more (so for FVS CHR must be 11 for level 1 spells, 19 for level 9 spells)

Get a +1 item or use an enhancement point to up your CHR by 1.

thanks...

That thanks sounds like maybe I should reroll now before I get to far into this.

Well I probably would... but you don't actually need to because of that:

10 base
6 item (easily affordable by L12-14)
1 +1 tome (almost guarenteed to be afordable on the AH or found by cap)
2 capstone or first 2 enhancement levels
---
19 minimum for casting L9 spells

The real min/maxers start with 8

What concerns me more with that build is actually the 14 wis. That's way too low for a CC or offensive cleric, too high for a healing or melee only cleric.
