Since posting my, "to cast or not to cast" posted message I've come into new information. Namely firkraag.

Attack 1: ATTACK!!
Result: Decimated.

Attack 2: Resistance and ATTACK!!
Result: Obliterated.

Attack 3: Casts resistances, then have my juggernauts run around the dragon like fools while my mage and cleric cast spells like cause critical wounds, bolt of glory, call wyvern, haste, and chant...
Result: Dragon Soup.

Findings: If your ever about to enter into a battle you just can't seem to win, mages and clerics (maybe druids but I don't know about em) are lifesavers. The game will never get too hard if you are skilled with the fine art of magicks.

and now that you've said it - let your signiture speak for itself.

magic is invaluable and that is a fact!

magic is nice but Minsc leads now, swords for everyone.
I agree with your post's I just love to quote minsc.
You me boo we are all heroes, hmapsters and rangers everywhere rejoice.
