I had been saving the two dragons (Shadow- & Firkraag) up for later and I finally got them:

ShadowDragon:
- 1st try, got him down to 'Injured' before he nailed my protagonist. Jan & Minsc & Summoned Berserker had done most of the damage.
- 2nd try, Jaheira cast 'Magic resistance', Jan cast 'lower resistance' then 'Greater Malison', Anomen cast 'Finger of Death'... Dead dragon in 2 rounds.

Firkraag:
- 1st try, got him down to badly injured before he creamed Minsc. Minsc & PC-Paladin & Jan had done most damage.
- 2nd try, as with previous Dragon, except it took a long, long time and Jan ended with 2HPs. Most damage done by Jan & PC-Paladin & Simalcrum Anomen.

Notes: 'Bolt of Glory' useless. Don't know why.

I used to use the magic resistance trick to beat the dragons at first, then I realized how easy and boring it made them, so i stopped using Magic resistance and malisons with instakill spells as it was more rewarding for me, to battle it out with the dragons. If you want a really easy kill just use the MR spell and Feeblemind, they will not fight back at all (reload till they dont sav vs spell), however If you get the patch from Kevin D's site the dragons will go hostile if their MR is less than what it should be. In TOB im sure we wont be able to use these same cheese tactics to beat dragons, however im also sure someone else will come up with some new cheese tactics for TOB.

yeah, for as long as there were games there always were cheese tactics, and ToB will be no exception!
