I know that after ToB, sorcerers stopped using charisma and went to intelligence
as their main stat. Does this carry over into BGT? I am just about to start playing
again from the top using this mod, and I want to know how to kit out my sorcerer
under the active rules.
Thanks for any help!
Do sorcerer's use charisma or intelligence in the BGT mod?

But you can change this with BG2 Tweak Pack, or some other older mods.

What do sorcerors use INT for (except the obvious use for surviving mind flayers)?

I think, nothing special. Perhaps they changed it, so all magicians have INT as their main attribute.What do sorcerors use INT for (except the obvious use for surviving mind flayers)?

A Megamod does not mean that you can play all of the mods or all of their content,
but you have more choices or paths through the game.

As I have recently learned, Sorceres doesn't use any attributes to anything. Their magic abilities are the same regardless their stats... so yes, the class description lies... For Sorcerer, the stats are:
STR: useless
DEX: almost useless unless you favours better AC, but for what?
CON: at 16 you get maximum HP
INT: nothing but lore (and surviving mind flyers)
WIS: 16+ needed for succesful Wish, which is particularly useful. Otherwise only lore.
CHA: NPC reactions and shop discounts (I think)
But apart WIS for Wish this is the same for other classes but warrior classes (they need STR, DEX and CON maxed obviously) so there really is no needed Sorcerer's specific ability at all...
BG2Tweaks alters some things, but I don't think it touches the classes and their respective stats.
