(Before I start, let me just say that I've played this game before, I'm fully patched, I know what I'm doing, etc. I'm looking for specific help, so pardon my attitude. [img]tongue.gif[/img] )
I'm soloing a wizard slayer through SoA only. I don't even have ToB installed. He's about level 12 and he's cleared out Bodhi's Chapter 3 lair, all except Bodhi.
To be frank, Bodhi trashes his ass. I can't figure out how to take on this bloodsucker. According to SK, her AC is -1 and her THAC0 is 4. My WS whacks on her with Azuredge to no avail. His THAC0 is around 8 or 9 and his AC is a respectable -7 considering he's only done a few quests (Circus Tent, Copper Coronet, Hidesman, Shadow Thieves) as he wants to confront Irenicus as quickly as possible.
He can't wear the silver amulet, and I can't find a way to justify keeping the illithium to give Azuredge an NPP coat. He also doesn't steal or purchase from disreputable merchants (thieves and fences), so that limits his gear even more than just the helm, armor, shield, and weapon wizard slayers are allowed. I've tried thinking of ways to knock down my AC and THAC0 with Ribald and Joluv's stock, but nothing comes to mind.
So, what do I do? My WS wants to get to Irenicus as fast as possible. Is there a roleplaying way to justify going to another quest to gain more levels then tackling Bodhi again? (I thought of going to the Temple District for religious guidance, then encountering the Cult of the Eyeless and going that route, but figured if I had a tough time with vampires, I wouldn't bust a dent in a beholder. Though it's probably good practice for what's to come.
