Beholders:
I usually send in waves of druid beetles -- along with my thief popping in and out of shadows shooting them with acid arrows. The beetles will shoot that acid spray of theirs and it's all over for the beholder then...
I've also combined items and spells to be over 50% resistant to magic -- that gives them a hard time too. Risky though: I had to turn my guy back to flesh from stone once (keep a couple of these spells in book in these areas!)
Spectral Guards:
Getting the Spectral Guards in a doorway when they come from all sides: I keep one character invisible to set the swarming traps off, thus they run right up to my fighter waiting for them to take their beating...
That Marrow Belt does have a negative effect, so it's not too overpowered. I forgot I had it on my character once and an Iron Golem kept pulverizing my character until I finally figured out why!
