I once played a party of all Wizards (Fighter/Illusionist, Aerie, Jan, Kelsey, Nalia, and Edwin) and a party of all Warriors (Archer, Montaron, Korgan, Keldorn, Mazzy, and Valygar) at pretty much the same time. Both had their difficulties in SoA, but once they strted hitting ToB levels, I have never sliced through the game as fast as that Warrior party did. My defeat of Draconis was actually comic--there's really not much you can do when you're taking 57 hits per round. My Wizard party, on the other hand, really had some trouble at certain rough spots, like the Duergar Tunnel in Sendai's place. We were nearly forced to *sneak* our way through there, although maybe that's just because I was planning a bitchin' series of screenshots that showed 68 Orogs getting waxed at the exact same time.
