Too much defense!
« on: March 22, 2004, 01:56:46 PM »
I guess I'm a wimp, since I am having real trouble taking down Mr. super-buffed Broody-Pants.

I hit him with several Breaches, Pierce Magics, and a Ruby Ray. He's still not taking any damage!  I have Korgan with the Imp. MoD and Crom Frayer.  You'd think that would be enough, but no.

My current cheesey tactic is to head upstairs and wait for his spells to time out, leaving Drizzt to face everyone alone.  I thought you were tough, Drizzt!

I guess I need to brush up on Mage fighting. hmm.

As you can see, he has casted:
 - various attack defences (PFMW, Fireshield, Stoneskin and whatnot).
 - Spell Shield = 1st protection remover goes bye bye
 - SI: Divination + Imp Invisibility = you cannot taget him with direct spells, nor can use True Sight.
 - SI: Abjuration = No remove magic; and, since he is considered a lich, he's totally immune to 5th and lower level spells (Breach? Ooops!)
 - SI: Conjuration = No damaging spells, almost (he's open to Abi Dalzim, if not immune via .cre file).

To dispell him: you cannot true sight him if you do not Spellstrike him, nor can spellstrike him unless you true shight him. Circular argument?
No! there are 2 ways to do the trick:
 1) have a thief detect illusions. Trust me, Detect Illusions cuts through anything and his mother. then, cast on him a lot of Ruby ray / Pierce magic / whatever spells. the less powerful FIRST, as it will be killed by spell shield. After the fisrt spell, you need either other 3/4 (just to be sure) or just Spellstrike (the 9th level one).
  2) be sure to have him alone with your mage, then Chain contingency: 3 Ruby ray on enemy seen. True sight, another one ruby ray (this is less likely to work, alas, since it needs the chained ones to kill SI: Divin). This is because CC can cut through Imp Invisibility.
Then, remove magic (the more the better) or inquisitor dispell magic (be careful of removing your protections though!), then slaughter him with melee.

You can also try casting ADHW as a mad on him, but this isn't granted as he can even be immune to magic damage cia .cre.

Or for lateral thinking cheese, use protection from undead scrolls.  Slap him once to trigger his spell defenses.  Sucker-kill everything else in the room (including Bodhi and any love interests hanging around).  Then you twiddle your thumbs until his weapons protections wear down.
