Sometimes the coolest effects are those totally unplanned and that end up with great results. I accidently discovered an incredibly valuable defense/attack strategy. (spoiler) I was playing IWD in the deeper dorns deep area against a lich where I was seriously getting my rear kicked. My 7th level halfling theif (chaotic neutral) was getting his arse kicked and had only 2HP left before he was ashes. The lich became obsessed with making my thief's breath his last so the creep continued to try to get at my rogue and pummel him with dagger claws. Well I used my fighter, ranger, paladin and cleric like the front line of the Greenbay Packers and blocked the lich's advance toward my poor little thief. I guess I profited off the lacking IWD AI in this case because as the lich took lick after lick from my front line, the undead still was exclusively trying to kill my thief. A valuable lesson was learned...and man it made me feel great---as I could finally shut down the CPU for the night and get some sleep. (I'm lucky that day light savings was on my side--for once.) Great topic.
