Stand back, lads! General Shield giving seminar here:
.
1) What spells are essential for my group to have? I have myself a Paladin, Minsc, Jaheira, Imoen, Sir Anomen and Aeire.
.
Give the Paladin Bless, Chant and other enhancing spells
.
2) Before going into battle what spells should I apply to my group or myself?
.
Chant
Bless
Haste if a tough one
If any enemy spellcasters, use summonings for them to wast their spells on. If facing a dragon, "Resist Fear" and "Haste"
.
3) While in battle, which spells should I use?
.
I usually open up on groups with area-effect spells before approaching them (stinking cloud and web are favourites along with cloudkill to continually damage spellcaster)
.
4) Who should I go after first? Is it right to go after the mage/cleric/priest like I do?
.
Use missiles on the spellcaster. Guy with lowest AC should hold off tanks as long as he can
.
5) After a succesfull battle, do you always sleep to regain your spells?
.
Depends - how many spells you got left? Havee you finished BOSS-level encounter? Do you need more healing?
.
6) Any other tip, hint or trick you have to win battles, any tactics or strategies please let me know of them. I'm getting my ass kicked in ToB...
.
Rely more on summonings and enchantments. Remember that you don't have to kill EVERYBODY
.
I shan't mention cheese tactics (there's a lovely one to take advantage of the new "A.I" bragged by ToB but I shall test that on ToB before posting it. It works in DSOTSC
