On my next run they'll hit me fair and square though.
My memory isn't great but I believe when I did fight them a certain cheesy weapon I obtained from the mod helped a great deal. Have you gotten the Two-handed sword called Tainted Sin yet? I won't spoil anything for you unless you ask me about it. If I'm in serious trouble I break this sword out.
On a side note - have you gotten very deep into the mod? Do you like it? What are your thoughts? etc. I've just recently gone all the way the up to the final battle in TOB so I think I've covered all the mod's improvements(on core). I've been wanting to discuss it on this forum but it doesn't seem like too many people have it installed.

It's a very nice and spicy mod, very healthy when you want some extra experience from your BG2 adventure. There are also nice rewards to be gained from your extra efforts. There isn't a fight that is overly difficult to be won, except for the KoDR maybe, I you're really at level 15 (you could escape to spellhold before level 15 and then when you return to Athkatla around level 19-20, ZANG!!
All you need to do is some more careful planning about your next step. For instance: I always do the Unseeying Eye quest fairly early on, with the shield of balduran. To get there you need to go throug the Temple Sewers party. They have been beefed up quite a bit and my level 8-10 party got beaten by them no problem. So I had to wait to get them till I was 4-5 levels higher. Those two fighters simply tore through my characters after Zorl succesfully dispelled all my buffs, cuz he was of higher level.
The mad cleric is, indeed, mad! He scared the hell out of me when I first met him and proceeded to decimate my fully unaware low-level party
It can't be compared to Tactics, since that was almost a necessity, but it does do some of the fights in BG2 justice. People should install this one next to Tactics for the Full Monty!
P.S. I haven't really gotten into the new kits, but IIRC they blow... What say you?
P.P.S Indeed, the sword tainted sin is the key to an easy victory, especially if you can get more of it
