the cheese factor is high on the sheild of balduran. against gauths, their attack is "cause serious wounds" which is a necromancy spell. unless you are soloing, you should have a mage which can cast spell immunity->Necromancy and absorb some damage while taking out the gauths. As for beholders, death ward on a few characters and some summoned creatures(how cool are winter wolves?) is usually enough to make it through. i find gauths to be more of a nuisance than beholders when unprepared, especially when your characters are young.
maybe i'm remembering incorrectly about the sheild working against gauths as well. anyway, don't buy the sheild! strategize! uhg, i should buy BG1, but i'm still engrossed in BG2.
peace,
dulouz.
