[Telchar of Nogrod]

When you are against enemy mages, you have to disrupt their spellcasting and keep on disrupting them. A real key to doing well in this game is lotsa, lotsa ranged attacks. Even my lead tank has a backup ranged attack. Let the enemy come to you when you are low level and sometimes later on as well. An important exception to this is when the enemy has archers as well. You must engage them in melee to make them change weapons. Most of the time I have my mage use a sling; but, against other mages when I'm out of MMs, I even use darts. With three attacks per round, it helps disrupt enemy spellcasting. Bottom line, you shouldn't have one battle plan against every type of opponent. You must adapt.
