Journal This autobiography keeps track of important information that you've learned in the course of your travels. It's a good idea to check your journal every now and then to make sure you have your facts straight. If you're coming back to the Planes after taking a break, then the Journal also serves as a handy place to refresh your memory Planescape®: TormentTM 19 about your recent adventures. In addition to the Journal, the Bestiary lets you look up some of the different creatures that you've met on your sojourn. If you need help remembering which quests you've agreed to help with, or which quests you've completed, then you can open up the Quest Log to clear up any confusion.

Planescape®: TormentTM 21 Thievish Abilities Thieves have a specialized set of skills that they can use as often as they like, with a chance of success that's based upon both their level and their Dexterity stat. You can check the appendix to see what chance your thief has of performing a skill successfully but here's a list of what each skill can do. Each time your thief gains a level of experience you'll gain a few more points to divvy up amongst your thievish abilities. How to Memorize and Cast Spells In order to cast spells in Torment you need to memorize them first. Every spell-caster has a set number of spells that he, or she, can cast. The number of spells that you can have in your spell book per level and the maximum level of the spells that you can learn are governed by your character's experience level and Intelligence stat for a mage, or Wisdom stat for a priest. The higher level your character is and the smarter they are, or the wiser you are if you're a priest, the more spells you'll be able to cast. The best way to think of it is that you have a certain number of spell slots available. Mages and priests determine which spells they'll be able to cast in different ways. If you're a mage then you'll need to memorize, or assign, a spell to a slot. To place a spell in a slot you need to sit down and memorize the spell. You can only do this after you've had a rest, yet another reason to make sure your characters take an occasional break.
