That I find odd--Faldorn has permanent Physical Mirror (to counter the Guard cheese), which, if it works like the Shield of Reflection, bounces the damage back to the Trap-setter....so Faldorn should have been unaffected, but your Thief should have died. [/QUOTE]I imagine it's like setting traps for Kangaxx, who also relies on Physical Mirror - even the auto-buffing scripts take a second to fully kick in, which is longer than it takes the trap to go off.

Interesting. I wonder if those Traps could be set outside the arena?

I'll have to try that - then I'd feel less cheesy at least (although I did rationalize it to myself along the lines of "well, it's not like I couldn't just climb down into the pit & prepare the battlefield"). It's still relying on HLA's, though, & there should be an SoA-only way of beating her.

I noticed there's a new One Day NPC out - a Druid at that, so I imagine I'll have an opportunity to try some new tricks on Faldorn shortly. I agree about it forcing you to take a Druid along now - maybe weimer could make it so, if you don't recruit Cernd, he gets Imoen's Belt in that fight, so there's a non-cheesy way of just bypassing the whole thing.
