dragons are also subject to the movement bug. as long as you stay out of the visual range, you can cast multiple cloudkills at them and watch them cough their life out.

liches on the other hand, CHEAT. Once faced a lich in the unseeing eye, i forgot it was there, and while I was casting spell protection and my own skeleton army to hack it to bits, it cast several skeleton warriors. Ha, I thought, finally I get to use the same tactic against a lich! and cast a death spell at them, because the manual says when you cast a death spell at a summoned creature, its dispelled immediately. I was pissed when all they did was shrug it off.

anyway, I think the worst monster is beholders. liches and dragons are always single creature. this gives you a chance to concentrate your firepower, spell or not, so you can attack from multiple vectors. beholders come in packs, and their projectile attacks are nasty. combination of spellstrike and death spells is no laughing matter.
