For the most part I am, when the screen is big enough I keep my NPC, item carriers, off screen from the action. I only keep Imoen and Aerie as my magic and traps/locks users. Even monks need healing at times. In those regards, I am soloing. I'll have to look but sure that 99 percent of kills in ToB have been made by my monk. But if you feel that I am cheating in this way, I will attempt to continue without them by leaving them in my safe haven area.

I dont know, the game is harder then SOA. But then I am not tweaking my characters or trying to create a god.
I do play very cheap though :D ( no cheats of course).
Here is what I do. My main char is a Fighter. So he and Sarevok both have boots of speed. So I just run with my main char and sarevok, though I make sure that Cern cast death ward on them both. And if they see a mage party or such they just move back a bit. Then just haste your whole party run in. Cast true site and then hit them with insect swarm. No matte r if its a melee party or a mage party you basically will do enough damage to disrupt them. And if its a forced fight, you know those you just appear in or they just pop up on you. Just pause the screen, hit that True Sight. And then as the true sight dispells any illusion that might be there. And then hit that insect swarm.
INGINIOUS :rolleyes:
Trap? What trap!? Ah shi....!!!!

caster heavy party having a hard time? =P
yeah right! LOL!

my party is caster heavy and we're having a blast rolling over everything. summon a elemental prince, deva/planetar, some skeleton warriors and elementals and you have a pretty decent tank party. you can pretty much chain summon while you have others casting damage spells and wiping the floor with people. cast haste to make them damage faster and you're pretty much set. i only have 2 tanks, minsc doesn't really last to long at times, and that's plenty. the only group that was difficult was the huntress party because they have some nasty casters as well in that group. everyone else, draconis, abizagal, balthazar, mel, and yaga shura were all fairly easy.

Nothing that six Horrid Wiltings won't cure, no doubt ;)
