So far, here are the toughest critters that I have stumbled across in my naps (about six hours worth this afternoon):
Emerald Slime (nasty due to hit points & paralyzing attack)
Succubus Slime (nasty due to ~300 hit points)
Vampire Bats (obvious reasons--can Drained status be removed?)
Pestilence Rats (eight of them wiped out my party early on, never have come across them again, had ~80 hit points apiece & disease attacks)
Here is my party at this point (don't remember names):
Fighter Level 10
Monk --> Ninja Level 9
Ranger --> Samurai Level 9
Priest Level 10
Bard --> Alchemist Level 10
Mage Level 10
This group is fairly powerful, I haven't had to reload due to serious difficulty/death in quite some time. I still haven't found a really good weapon for either my fighter or my samurai (best so far is broadsword purchased from Burz at some point).
Anyway, this is probably all that I will play with the demo...going back to BGII for a while now (at least until I can get my hands on a copy of the full Wiz8 once it is released

).
