The Improved Bodhi fight is a bit bulls*** though. If you so much as have one summon( any summon) near her, she casts some spell that deals 70-80 damage in an area-of-effect( Insane Difficulty) and kills all summons... ...

She DOES NOT TURN HOSTILE, what the HELL is up with that? I had to manually click on her to target her during the fight. Oh, and she ALWAYS targets the weakest party member, even if the other five party members are wailing away on her. Not much of an improvement in my opinion... ...

"I wear the Amulet of Power and have Stoneskins and Mirror Images! Yay me!"

In the end... I defeated her by just pelting her with excessive amounts of Melf's Minute Meteors, arrows and bullets. She spawns with an entire posse of Grim Archers that completely surround her, and block her from moving around... yes... pretty smart for an 'Improved' Bodhi huh?

If I knew how to code scripts, I would smack the guy who did this 'Improved' Bodhi garbage and tell him to lay off the crack and booze. Improved Abazigal is an excellent example of an Improved fight, and that was done by one of the game creators. That should be used as the benchmark of difficulty balance, realism, and fun factor..
Well, my fight was completely different. In my fight, Bodhi WAS smart, targeting not-negative-plane-protected characters, and the Undead Sola isn't easy either.
Maybe it was an old version? Anyway, report it to Westley Weimer.

Heh, I only had the Flail of Ages, Sword of Chaos, etc... when I met them for the first time. You know, when I first started out and found the Celestial Fury, I thought to myself, "That's it?" and proceeded to sell it... ...

Took me about 2 months to appreciate its value. I still think it is a highly over-rated weapon though.
OVER rated?!? The Celestial Fury is, IMHO, THE most powerful one handed weapon in SoA. First, give it to someone with a HIGH rate of ApR. Then, if it's a tough opponent, Improved Haste him. It almost certain that the enemy will be stunned in a round or two. And, as you know, stun = auto hits, just like Timestop, so practically, a stunned opponent is a dead opponent.
