Lower Resistances does not last for 2 seconds. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Your Mage was most probably of too low a level for the Shadow Dragon to notice a difference. Cast 2-3 of them instead.

However... your party is not very magic-oriented, so I see no point in lowering the SDragon's Magic Resistance in the first place anyway. Fill up all your level 5 spell slots with Breach instead.

Get Jaheira to summon some Mountain Bears, while Aerie summons some Aerial Servants. Position the summons in front of the SDragon, while your Fighter, Cavalier, Fighter/Thief and Yoshimo stay at the back of the SDragon. Aerie and Jaheira should standby on one of the SDragon's side, within ranged distance.

When you are ready, get Aerie to cast a Minor Spell Sequencer with Chant and Bless on the tanks followed with Haste. Once boosted, start chopping. Use Breach and Insect Plague on the SDragon once it turns hostile.

One word: Feeblemind
Greater Malison comes in handy as well

Your fighter is level 20?!
Is this due to an XP-Cap remover or ToB?
If it is due to the latter, both Greater Whirlwind or Critical Strike (whatever you chose) should make short work of him.

xp cap remover is y he is level 20.
now several things:
if u have faced the shadow dragon, u no he kills summons cos he sucks out their souls.

That are what Kobolds and Skeletons are for.

You have to use have to use Lower Resistance and Greater Malison to get it to work. He will still Save vs Spell even then, so you may have to try a few times. Be patient and dont get mad; get even!

I think it is a random treasure. I've atleast never found it in any shop or special place. But then I haven't looked very well for it either. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

You can use CLUA to get a GM-scroll, though, code is SCRL5I.
