How to quickly cast spells / get new action bar?

[Flip]

Is there a way to quickly cast spells apart from putting them on action bar or is there a way to get more than one action bar? As a spell caster I have a load of spells and there is not enough space on the action bar and the only other way to cast is through the tedius radial menu.

Try shift and CTRL. Now you have 3, but, be warned, that's it.

(The numberpad works as an alt radial menu so casting a few buffs or other actions can be learnt if you want.)

(For no other reason than quickbar management, Sorceress is better than a wizard cos all offensive spells (with metamagic) can fit into the 36 slots available, tho it depends what spells you pick of course... perhaps I only chose that many offensive spells cos there were only 36 quickslots? ??? !!! )

Have fun :)

Thanks for the info! Appreciate it! In this case it was for Cleric, but for magic users I do prefer sorcs, also always dislike opposition school mechanic of specialist mages.

Thanks again!

Just pick illusionist, you lose nothing worth casting. Problem solved.

Sequencer items/robes too ... Pre cast defense spells , use the item to do it pretty much all at once, frees up your bar slots.

Any sequences for clerics to hasten the 2947620092375 buffs I need to cast?

Don't know, but you could make one ...
Toolset, mak eitem, export as an .erf , load your erf into the module playing.

There's the 'rod of fast buffing' specifically designed for your needs. :)
It is in .erf form iirc so you'll need to add it to the module you're playing or beg the PW owner to add it. Might be an override version too, IDR.

Check Neverwintervault. https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/prefab/item/rod-fast-buffing

Have fun :)

I'd personally just cast all Long-Term Self Buffs from the Radial Menu [right click on character]. Takes some time, but it saves your quick slots for things that you might want to cast in a fight.

I remember some crazy spell caster players back in the day on servers such as Antiworld PVP doing 'everything' from the radial menu, and not worrying about quick slots at all. But personally think this is a 'wee' bit too much lol.
