It outlines what some people have done that works, though quite a few involve cheese.
The winning strategy without cheese:
Quote:
This is what I did - I had my PC - kensai dualled to druid at 12 with grand mastery in quarterstaffs and I was at 12/13 level. I had my PC drink a potion of cloud giant strength, a potion of invulnerability, 2 potions of magic protection effectively raising the magic resistance to 100, a potion of magic shielding and had improved haste cast on him by Aerie. Then I had spells of chant, defensive harmony, and bless on the PC before allowing him to take on Faldorn. Grabbed the staff immediately and pounded her with everything my PC had. Even so I had to reload three times before, I hit the right strategy in the fight - as when to recast my PC's ironskins twice during the fight. Once I disrupted her heal spell, the rest was easy. Before she could recover to recast her ironskins, she was dead. This is a monstrously tough battle and I think there are a few things that are extremely unfair.
1) The dread wolves land right on the staff so you have to lead them away from the staff before you can get it.
suggested change - the staff should begin in the challenger's inventory - come on, Faldorn did not have to run for the staff even during the Bio version - she started with the staff in her hand.
2) She can be casting a spell and still attacks - even Demogorgon cannot do this. This is blatantly unfair. She should either cast a spell or attack - she should not be able to to both simultaneously.
3) Her number of attacks is far too high - 4 per round. A dual wielding fighter class PC at the end of ToB does not have that many attacks.
suggested change - reduce the number of attacks to 3 or 2.5
All in all, it is a very challenging fight - thanks to Wes Weimer for creating it.

Maidros
