More backstabbing screenies,

Fire Elemental:
This was from the Elemental Lich in the Bridge District.

Glabrezu:
Demons are surprisingly easy to backstab. They tend to be easily distracted, enabling to Rena to give them a quick poke in the back.

The North Forest gets pumped up a bit with Tactics, but the creatures within all shared one thing in common. They cannot see through invisibility. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Too many backstabs for me to comment on, I will just highlight the more notable ones.

Backstab 01: Efreeti
Backstab 02: Djinni
Backstab 03: Greater Fire Elemental
Backstab 04: Rabbit
No, really. Rabbit. I am easily... amused.
Backstab 05: Another Rabbit
Backstab 06: Another Efreeti

Backstab 07: Deer
Rena never liked Bambi's mother.
Backstab 08: Greater Wyvern
Backstab 09: Thief
I aimed the Thief first because he could Detect Illusions.
Backstab 10: Mercenary
This Mercenary panicked and tried to run away. There would be no escaping from a second backstab.
Backstab 11: Archer
Backstab 12: Duergar

Backstab 13: Mage
The SotM may be unsuitable for a backstab, but that was not the reason why I used it. I used it to remove the Mage's annoying Stoneskin.

Backstab 14: Priest of Cyric
The Priest of Cyric was blocking the Mage, so I got rid of him first.
Backstab 15: Mage
Stoneskins will no longer save you! Bruhwahaha!
Backstab 16: Skeleton Warrior
Imoen makes an appropriate comment. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Backstab 17: Another Deer
Backstab 18: Moose
Rena's current personal best. 340dmg. Booyah!

Other Kills Not From Backstabs,

..) The Lich in the Docks mod is pretty annoying, but she has a personal flaw. She likes to talk. She likes to talk a lot. Talking means no spellcasting, and no spellcasting means no combat protections.

I casted Improved Haste and Protection from Undead( to counter the Skeleton Warriors) on Minsc, who had by now specialised in Axes( 2* Proficiencies). Made him run inside and immediately hurled Azuredge +4 at the Lich. The result?

This.

..) 3 Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wiltings in a Chain Contingency never grows old. [img]smile.gif[/img]

BOOM.

..) Kangaxx is scary, and so are the improved 'Guardians' upstairs. I used the same IHasted trick to kill the Lich on the left, but this meant that the Lich on the right had time to cast his combat protections.

The whole party drank potions to become immuned to Electricity and I made Rena( who was wearing the Cloak of Mirroring) run to the back so that she would take the brunt of the Lich's Chain Contingency, and avoid spilling the damage to the rest of the party( you need to be fast. Rena was Improved Hasted and wearing the Improved Boots of Speed).

The minotaurs and the rest of the hostiles were easily dispatched by a twin CC-Bomb of ADHWs from Imoen and Kelsey. This left the Lich, who for some unknown reason, decided to cast Tensor's Transformation, which disables spellcasting.

Huh?

Anyway, this was a golden opportunity, and the party whacked the Lich away once its' PfMW expired.

Onward to Kangaxx. Rena, still wearing the Cloak of Mirroring, tanked Kangaxx in his Lich form. She also had a helm that protected from Charm( Kangaxx the Lich casts a lot of Dominations which bypasses the Cloak of Mirroring).

Once Kangaxx the Lich was defeated, the rest of the party casted Protection from Undead on themselves EXCEPT Rena. Rena meanwhile, using UAI, casted a scroll of Spell Immunity:Abjuration and a scroll of Spell Immunity:Alteration.

The former is to protect from Imprisonment, the latter from Teleport Field. Unfortunately, I discovered that SI:Alt does not make you immune to the effects of Teleport Field. Boo.

Anyway, swinging Azuredge +4 and under the effects of an Oil of Speed, Rena wailed away on Kangaxx the Demi-Lich as fast as she could( in melee, not ranged. Kangaxx the Demi-Lich has Physical Mirror.). Given Kangaxx the Demi-Lich's rate of regeneration, I needed an instant kill to polish him off.

Voila.

Coming soon... How to cheese the Improved Small Teeth Pass, and how to kill Improved Bodhi FAIR AND SQUARE in TWO ROUNDS or your cookies back!

Cheers! [img]graemlins/evillaughter2.gif[/img]

Too bad UserUnfriendly is no longer active here. [img]smile.gif[/img] I'm sure he would love to add these cheese to the guide.

EDIT] Grammar mistakes.
