Spell Selection - Sorcerer & BFM

[anthrak]

I'm just coming back after having been gone awhile and I want to get some suggestions on spell lists for both a 40 Sorceror and a 29 sorc / 10 RDD / 1 Paly BFM. It looks like most of the builds may or may have not been updated with new spell choices. Any help (you can point me somewhere) would be appreciated.

Also I noticed on some builds that they have additional spells (not the ones from the feat). How and when do you get these?

Thanks!

Welcome back
The easy answer is regarding where to get the addition spells (the extra spells at certain levels, not the feat). This is acquired after lvl40 by clicking the spell pedestal in the docks. Easy .

For sorcerers, the main question would be "what do you want to do?". I know you didn't ask about builds, but this does make a difference as well to what spells are best to keep. It's also important to decide if you're going to be mainly solo (perhaps get some conjuration and summons), mainly party support (instakill/disable/damage), or specific area like Hells or Abo's or Ellysium. Ellysium is also important to the build since a Pally splash would suffer due to the evil thing.
I've found that Werehound's build spell-list (Fizzlefingers) is very effective from a damage point of view if you can find enough items to protect yourself with minimal buffs. The spells selected are -mostly- stock NWN, with perhaps a small few of them HG specific.

The Red Mage uses a very different spell list (for the most part), but also seems like a good selection. My son's been running a sorcerer based on this build and it's been quite effective so far.
