Well, I can only conclude that there is a HUGE difference between my game and whatever the special edition is. Next time I get to Irenicus I'm going to try to take some screen shots and show you what he does at the battle. He starts of with a wave of sequencers, triggers and contingencies, then casts a series of area damage spells that kills any summons other than Nishrus within the first few seconds. Then he starts casting the Time Stops and the first wave of level 8 and 9 spells, which as it turns out you basicly have to hope that the PC and either Aerie or Jahiera survives so you can resurrect whoever gets killed by the Wail of the Banshee.

Here's what I had the first time I played him.

(original SoA level cap)
Mage level 16
Aerie max
Minsc max
Valygar, can't remember
Jaheira max
Imoen level 15

I didn't have Ring of Gaxx, SotM, but I had a Robe of the Good archmagi on the mage and Imoen. Mage had Ring of Protectioin +2, Amulet of Power, Bracer AC 3, Ring of Earth Control for additional armor, cloak of mirroring, and a helmet. The rest of the party had GOOD equipment, but looking back I know that I had missed some very good items and they could have been better, but not THAT much better...
