Some thoughts and a (possible?) bug, New to IA Options

[Nominar]

Hi there. I'm new to IA so please be kind . I've played some other tactial mods. I've had no problem with SCSII/Ascension/Some parts of tactics so I thought I'd try something new. Actually what got me really interested (among many many other things) is NO BLOODY MULTIPLE CHEATING SPELL IMMUNITIES from enemies. I got through all the fights in my previous run-throughs so multiple SIs aren't that much of a problem there but still, the enemy is cheating. I dunno really if I'm a good tactical player or not and I've heard that IA is the hardest one out there. That's why I ask you if my party, which I intend to play with, stands some chance against what I'm about to face. My characters are (4 custom made, 2 NPCs):

Sorceress - Protagonist
F/M multi
Berserker
C/R multi

and then I'll probably take Valygar and Nalia (haven't got to that point yet though). I decided to take Nalia over Edwin because he doesn't get an item upgrade, unlike stated in the FAQ: "Yes, all of the joinable NPCs who have such specific items will be able to upgrade their personal items". Why doesn't he get an upgrade? Well we all know that his amulet is already overpowered in vanilla but still, Nalia's ring becomes better with the upgrade.

And now a more serious question. It could be just my particular install or a bug (dunno, that's why I'm asking). When I'm in the Adventurer's Mart there's a Knave's Robe for sale which my sorceress CAN'T use. I CLUAed in a Robe of the Neutral Archmagi (my protagonist is true neutral) ONLY to check if this was universal, and yes she can't use that one either. The description says "Usable by: Mage (single, dual, multi)" and not sorcerer but I've played sorcerers before and don't remember them not being able to use robes. Which sucks, because they can't wear anything else. And what got me really thinking is that in the new items' document it says that Memory of the Apprenti is Usable by: Mage (single class), and not sorcerers or what?

Is it a bug in my installation or intended to nerf sorcerers or something (which I really don't see a reason for)? I did everything that the Installation file told me (BG2 -> ToB -> ToB Patch -> Baldurdash 1.12 -> Ease of Use (not all components) ->IA V5) and well yes I installed 2 other mods afterwards which are Pocket Plane's Banter Pack and G3 Romantic Encounters. Here's my WeiDU log.

Could those two banter mods really be the reason for my sorceress not being able to use robes? And again, is Memory of the Apprenti only usable by single-classed mages?
