A side note; I'm wondering how the hell an Assasin is supposed to do this.
My lvl 23 Assasin has nothing on her ... 5 regular traps make her regeneration usefull for a few rounds and his THAC0 doesnt cut .. her.

I have UAI-ability ... and I suppose you could use some scrolls to get the job done. But were I lvl 22, I'd be dead for certain. Same for my Kensai, he's lvl 19 I think ( has 1 HLA ), and doesnt even come near the AC required to protect from her THAC0 ( Shapeshifter = -13, and even that is worthless ).

Even with the upgraded Mace of Disruption, making him immune to lvl drain, the sheer damage she inflicts per hit would do a Kensai in.

I have actually managed to kill her, but I dont like the way I do it.
I make my Assasin go clean the stairs or something, while my Kensai hides behind the door to the round chamber.
My Shapeshifter-Clone (Vhailor) takes the initial punishment, and both of us druids take care of her first fight.
*second breath*
Clone is dead/ unsummoned , I take her on solo, while my Kensai occasionally pops out to throw his knive .. whenever she goes after him, he closes the door and she refocusses on my shapeshifter.

As I said, traps arent damaging enough .. arrows are only +2 ( wont hit ), my Assasin cant hit her with his sword, my kensai cant face her in combat .. its just the shapeshifter and it pisses me off.

I *dont* want to use UAI-scrolls to make this fight easier unless its absolutely necessary. ( I cant stand magic at the moment ).

P.s. Been wondering and will test myself if I get the oppertunity to play again ( might be awhile ) .. but :
If a creature ( f.e. Bodhi ) can see through invisibility .. is she still backstabable ?

My Assasin remains unseen by others, .. its just Bodhi that sees him. But if I distract her with my Shapeshifter and he takes a swing at her back while technically invisible .. is it going to be a backstab ( septuple damage ) ?

I tried a few times, but I dont think my Assasin managed to hit her even once ( Short sword of mask +4 ).

Oh, and also: Even with a septuple modifier, the average damage per backstab lies around 70 or so .. my max. was 170 , my minimum ( septuple x ) was 28 or something. Its usually around 50 - 70 ... seems kinda low to me
