Scrolls will be good, as that will mean you can summon more than one Planetar at the same time.......

You can't have more than one variation of a Planetar (Devas, fallen devas, planetars, fallen planetars) summoned at the same time. Just like you can only summon one Elemental Prince at a time.
And I agree with Andrewas.. Can I say "concede" here? I'm still banging my head over that..

Ah... I see Illumina Drathiran'ar does not yet know of the loophole with the spell, Project Image... one of the spells that make a Sorcerer so powerful... ...

Behold... CHEESE.

It is the basis of my PRATI tactic... nuke them, then nuke them again, and again, and again, and a~~... ...

Nope, but there is the store function. Minor Spell Sequencers, Spell Sequencers and Spell Triggers. People actually use it as a viable tactic to bring down Dragons. First they fire off a Spell Trigger with 3 Lower Resistances, than they start barraging it with Magic Missiles... ...

I prefer Flame Arrow though, more damage. A Spell Sequencer with 3 Flame Arrows is devastating to a single target.

WOOOO!
Alright! I just tried out the scenerio on Normal difficulty( same as whacky) and am glad to say that it is doable! I managed to show Sendai who is the stronger Bhaalspawn on my first try, but sadly, Minsc died during the battle. All in all, a very fun battle for me, because it was challenging! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I was skeptical at first, on whether I could beat her with only one rack of spells... since I usually rely on Project Image for a constant source of spells. I did not use Time Stop, as I wanted to cast as many Planetars as possible.

Minor Battle Report:
--------


Equipment;

Omair: Staff of Rynn, Adventurer's Robe, Bracers of Defense AC 3, Circlet of Netheril, Amulet of Power, Ring of Acuity, Cloak of Protection +2, Boots of Speed, and the Belt of Inertial Barrier.

Minsc: Battle Axe +3, Shuruppak's Plate, Roranach's Horn, Amulet of Seldarine, Shield of the Order, Boots of Speed, and the Girdle of Fire Giant Strength.

The equipment I had available was a mish-mash of good and mediocre. I had to visit the Pocket Plane and juggle around the loot that was stored there. My main priority was to grab all the summoning items that I could lay my hands on. In the end, I had the Black Spider Figurine, Stone Golem Manual, Silver Horn of Valhalla, Wand of Monster Summoning( 4 charges), and the Shakti Figurine( second-last resort, just in case).

The Fight Begins;

I previously stored 3 Flame Arrows in a Spell Sequencer, 3 Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting in a Chain Contingency, casted Melf's Minute Meteors and Stoneskinned Omair. Once rested, I made Minsc drink a Oil of Speed Potion, Omair casted a Resist Fear spell, casted Protection from Magical Energy on himself, and casted True Sight last.

They enter the room.

Note, there are sixteen screenshots, so be patient.

Oh, I forgot to add. I had the Sola mod added to my game, so the difficulty of the fight was increased. Sendai had Chain Contingencies of ADHWs and she loved casting Prismatic Spray and Sphere of Chaos. Drow mages also entered the fight, as opposed to only Drow soldiers in the past.

One bad mistake I made though, was forgetting that Planetars can cast spells as well. If I had used their spells, the fight would have been much easier.
