Come on, I KNOW there are tons of great ideas out there. I mean, sure, we could just use our magic missiles and our flame arrows, but remember how frustrating it was the first time you encountered a backstabbing thief with invisibility rings and potions? In the words of Principal Skinner's mom, they'll kill you three times before you hit the ground. Lately I've been trying to experiment with lesser used spells, such as Blindness. It seems to always work. Now, I don't have a thief in my group that is any good at hiding in shadows (Nalia), but if you did, I'm thinking you could just blind a powerful monster and then backstab him to kingdom come. If he can't see you, you should be able to hide in shadows again and again, no?

Another good one is Spook, which improves with level. I think enemies receive a -2 to their save for every level or two of experience you have, so when you get up there it is almost sure to work. Now, once they are running away from you I guess that is when you use your magic missiles and flame arrows. I had a certain red dragon afraid of ME! With a first level spell.

As for the time stop idea, sounds good. I confess I've never gotten to that level. I keep starting over.
