Actually, I have smacked the dragons in BG2 as I did smack them in NWN - walked to them and started the beating. When got blown away, got up, ran back to it and continued the beating. And done, over.

As for mods, then I have tried some of them, with some cases I only needed to be higher level then before and then it was the same - walk over, start smacking. GWW if needed, Critical Strike and so on... Haven't tried all the mods there are, I mean, come on, there's other games out there to play too [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color="white">~Delete~</font>

<font color="white">DSlaytern] A little tact can go a long way. I considered just straight out deleting the post, but I decided to let it stay. As far as I can tell, nothing has been spoiled in regards to NWN. In the future, remember to phrase your words courteously.</font>

I once heard of a guy that played a 6 sorceror party. The fireworks they used against the dragons was meant to be spectacular. The problem with this party is no healers or thieves to detect and disarm traps but that was his problem, HEHE.

3 spells alone will handle all the traps in the game. Stoneskin, Mirror Image and Spell Immunity.

Healing... is not an issue, as the enemy cannot even hurt you most of the time. It is more likely that Sorcerers sell healing potions, than use them.

Actually, that would be against the spirit of the Conan Tactic. The Conan Tactic advocates the bare skills of your characters. They charge in... unprepared.</font>[/QUOTE]Quoted from your Dragon Slaying page:
12. Conan Tactic: Screw tactics, just go in with sword swinging.

Nothing about being unprepared, here. ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

But i get your point. Lets call it - The Intelligent Conan Tactic. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And a question about Tactic #10, aka the "Web Tactic" - aren't Dragons immune to Web? Or so i've heard... [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Conan? Intelligent? That's like saying the Bhaalspawn is not naive. ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Jesting aside, that page is a compilation of several tactics people use. I was in doubt about the Web one, but I never got around to testing it.

Alson 11-21-2002 11:54 AM

Well, i just did - Infinity Explorer credibility. [img]smile.gif[/img]

The Web spell causes two effects - Web, and HOLD_CREATURE.
Dragons, unfortunately, wield an undroppable ring called DRAGRING (rings a bell, i assume? ;) ) which confers immunity to both.
You can safely remove it from your list - disinformation is baaaaad... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

It was in need of an update anyway. It was suppose to be more comprehensive, with tactics for individual Dragons, but I never got around to doing it.

Alson 11-21-2002 12:17 PM

OK, then... Just thought i should mention the Web thing anyway. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I think that individual Dragons tactics is too party specific.
The big winners here are the quite obvious "Be immune to its Breath Attack" and "Beware of Wing Buffet".
A listing of each Dragon and his particular Breath damage might be nice for newbies, though. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Heh, the empty templates are in place already, but for some reason, I lost interest in completing it.
