Since you don't have any lvl 7 spells. Just do the good ol' summon and wait patiently. Just summon creatures one by one. And she will use all her spells on them. She does run out after awhile (or at least slows down) and battle is yours. Just wait for her spell trap (me thinks) to wear off, and send ...

Cavalier (me)
Minsc

Thanks Lorsadan. I appreciate the quick response.

Well, I guess I'll try it this weekend. Store some stuff there and see what happens. I'm in SoA, near the end, but want to clean up all the quests before I go to ToB. In theory it should work, since they still use the same map... hopefully that is.

If you are still doing SoA w/ ToB installed and move your items to the Watcher's Keep first floor for storage. Will they still be there when you move from SoA to ToB, or will they just disappear?

Since the Watcher's keep is viewable on both maps, I am assuming that what ever you leave there should ...

It's alright to alert the guards at the door, just as long as you kill them. So, I suggest leaving your group near them, and having one person go in with sanctuary. Just make sure that when you go and they go hostile that they don't have enough time to warn the other guards. Then let your ...

I use the T formation. It works for me, 'cause I like to have 3 tanks and 3 mage/cleric/bowmen around. The tanks protect the weak, by providing a line.

However, this isn't great for ambushes or surrounded attacks. In this case, I use the 0 formation. Everyone back to back protecting one another is ...

When I leave my NPC's, I let them leave with the stuff they came with (ex. jan's armor) and give them some arrows and potions. I kinda like to think of it as them going, but leaving some of the found equiptment for the benefit of the team. It seems kinda selfish, but it a way it's not. It's a team ...

ToB Abilities Question

I am not to sure if I remember correctly, but while playing SoA w/ ToB installed. As a cavalier, I leveled up to level 18. At this level I was able to choose an ability. I am not to sure, but I think I was able to choose the summon deva ability. First off, I don't think that agrees with the manual ...

I always store items in one box in my stronghold. It's just as messy as I am.

ToB Bug? w/ Casomyr

I am currently playing SoA w/ ToB installed and I am noticing a problem with magic resistance. It appears that if the casomyr is put on last or if one reloads (continues from a save) the magic resistance is set to 50% despite having previous magic resistances on.

For example, I am currently ...
