Ok, her'es the scenario. I'm doing the Ritual (core rules, spell 50) in Chapter 3, after clearing Watcher's Keep down to level 4. ~2 Million EXP each, party is Sorceror X 2 (PC & Tashia), Viconia, Jaheira the Ranger/Cleric, Minsc the Undead Hunter, Jan the Assasin. I can win the fights, with some difficulty and a depressingly high number of reloads (mostly "where did THOSE guys come from??!!" scenarios), I just can't do it anywhere near fast enough
Some specific questions:
Shadowstalkers - Ugh! Other than some thief traps - not enough really available to me - is there any decent way to disable these guys? With truesight, oracle, etc. they just re-invis again, and I just don't have enough truesights to keep it up all the time let alone have multiple truesights up. They also seem to be smart enough to avoid attacking skinned characters, grrr....it's led to some chunky deaths. Remove magic can do it, but only Tashia has it, and I'm trying to conserve her level 3 spells for skull traps (3 in a trigger + ProME is pretty handy). Detect traps on a thief with high detect illusin will work, but Jan has low skill in that (and can't use the techno-goggles since I hacked him, which is odd itself).
Any way to block that Project Force spell? ProNegative planes blocks the level drain part, the boots will block the dispel, but that seems to be about it. Anyone know?
Freaking druids - how in the wide world of sports do you pull THOSE *&^^#%$ guys away without eating a ton of lightning and bugs?
So, any suggestions on these issues (or general tactics), or am I just being a lamer? It was fairly easy after Yaga-Shura, but it's ...err...challenging in Chapter 3, at least for me.
