Simply Enough I can't seem to beat draconis! I mean, In human form he's easy but as soon as he turns into a dragon, and does his stuff he's impossible!! Help!

Who is in your party and what are their levels?

any mods (tactics, ascension) or is it just plain Draconis?
I suggest: finish his primary form with a single tank and as soon as he turns turn invisible (potion) and retreat. You can then regroup, heal and plan for an assault on his dragon form. (You could also lay traps and lure him to them but that might get cheesy, although it can be done without cheese)

Keldorn
Sarevok
Mazzy
Imoen
Anomen

Forget the levels, but we're all around 21 22 i think.

Good thing that you have Keldorn. Use his True Sight ability to dispel Draconis`s invisibility. Sorund the dragon with your fighters. Use Spell Trigger and put 3x Lower Resistance in it. Then use Breach and attack with Carsomyr if you have it. Also you can use the PRATI tactic to unleash holy hell with Imoen since she is the only spellcaster. Use Hardiness too.

Once his resistance is somewhat lowered some spells to use are.

Dragons breath-lvl 9

Abi Dazis horrid willting- lvl 8 (somethign like that)

Modekanians sword- lvl 7

Use horrid wilting first and then send in your paladin and mordekanians sword because you can cast dragons breath on him while they are in there because it does not effect your characters.

1. Time Stop (You): Spell Trigger (3x Lower Resistance), Greater Malison, Spell of Choice
2. Time Stop (Imoen): every possible one-hit kill spell (e.g. Finger of Death)
3. Keep pounding him with Keldorn and Sarevok and use Mazzy for missile support
4. Meanwhile use Anomen, Imoen and yourself for spellcasting. Use insta-kill spells first, if they hit you're done ;)
add: If you got Imporved Alacrity and two lvl9 slots you can of course combine that with (hope you got 'em) Amulet of Power and Robe of Vecna to unload your whole spellbook at once (to make sure the Lower Resistance hit first just walk away a bit after you have cast them)

ADhW (Abu Dalzim's Horrid Wilting) also is a party friendly spell (i.e. damages only hostiles) and actually the most effective SoA area spell. So feel free to use some of them while hitting him with your tanks.

<span style="color: lightblue">Use all of your non-acidic offensive spells (eg, Magic Missle, Flame Arrow, Horrid Wilting...) as quickly as you can. Try to only loose one or two Wizard spells from memory, though.

My advice: use those wands, potions!!! You can drag them around forever, but then ask yourself why you're so when you're not using them! If you drink your potions, use your wands etcetera, it's no big deal anyway: there's always Amkethran to buy some new stuff.
