Hmmm? Doesn't Elmonster play vanilla SoA until the end of SoA, then install ToB? I'm sure there is no experience cap remover, either. I thought Elmonster was at 2.9 million XP until the game of SoA. Am I wrong?

Oh, I misread. I'm not sure whether anyone has completed the game with the Tactics mod at the SoA cap. Sorry.

You are correct. He cast no 9th level spells, consistent with 17th level, and his Lower Magic spells reduced MR by 27, consistent with 17th level. But I think that was without the Tactics mod.

I guess I should have waited a minute or so before replying. ;)

I finally examined my actual map of the Portal Maze last night, and discovered I was wrong: To actually beat WK Level 3, you absolutely must visit the Tanar'ri Base--and there are only two ways into that room, and both of them are from Dead-Magic zones.

So, the bare minimum is 1 Dead Magic, 1 Wild Magic.
