Has anyone ever "farmed fiends" for free XP after installing the BGII Fixpack from the Gibberlings 3? If not, have I got a nifty trick for you!
Basically, it involves these characters and spells:
- Any character that knows the Priest spell "Protection From Evil 10'"
- Any mage that can cast "Dispel Magic", "Project Image", and "Summon Fiend"
- A fighter or two
The basic premise is to cast "Protection from Evil" on your entire party, then have your mage cast "Project Image", and then have the "image" cast "Summon Fiend", which then brings a Glabrezu into the area. This Glabrezu gives 12.5k XP each time it is killed by you or any of your party members. Since all your party members are protected from evil, it can't attack. Free XP. Once the "image" runs out of "Summon Fiend" spells, have the image cast "Dispel Magic" on itself so that the mage can cast another "Project Image" spell. Rinse, wash, repeat. This is great for training dual-classed characters, such as Kensai-Mages, or my personal favorite, the Kensai-Thief.
- Naturally, the fewer characters in your party involved during this process, the better.
- One downside: Players should be warned that this IS a very boring process.
P.S.: Setting the three mage spells to shortcuts and Wearing "Robes of Vecna" and the "Amulet of Power" on your mage makes the summoning process go faster.
