Hello!
I remember BG1's manual in which Elminster said that the undead are the most fearsome! If you played Icewind Dale then slaying undead will be 2nd Nature, but even then there are still some very powerful undead before you.
Most medium and low level undead can be harmed by magic easily. Use firball and skull traps to deal massive area damage. But the better ones are False Dawn and SunRay which are high level priest spells not yet perhaps available to you.
Vampires: Fast Movement and Drains Levels, some can cast spells and are immune to normal weapons. You MUST cast lvl4 Priest spell Protection from Negative Plane to make yourself immune to level drain. But this lasts only 5 rounds (30 seconds in real time). Use all spells on them and summoning often helps.
Skeletons: EASY
Skeleton Warriors: magic will NOT hurt them in anyway. Meless is the only answer. They are tough! Mage with stoneskin can distract them whilst fighters hit them for free.
Wrights: Combine Magic and Arrows
Ghouls: They can hold and cause problems. Use arrows and ranged to reduce them then finish QUICKLY with a melee. Hit and Run works well as they are slow.
Lich: Avoid these at levels lower than 9. You need a good mage to destroy its defences so your fighters can keep a continuous barrage of attacks on it. Read the battle dialogues carefully! You must known all the spells and how they work.
Breach (lvl5 Mage) is needed more than once.
