Summons......lots of them..... yet again... Skeleton Warriors come in mind.. [img]smile.gif[/img] (those Illithids tend to have machine gun filled with charm/pisonics/dominate ect.... most of the skeleton warriors will save vs those effects...high MR)

Don't use them in the Eye Tyrant lair though... before they even reach one of those floating orbs they will be pile of chewy-white-things-for-the-dog-to-chew-on.

Ehr, why wouldn't Planetars mop the floor with the Drow? A single one can easily take out the high level Tactics bandits (Wiz Slayer, Conjurer, etc, etc) on it's own, and those bandits are surely far more powerful than any pack of drow you encounter in the Underdark.

About the Illithid and Beholder lairs. I know it's not available to your sorcerer, but damn did my Ranger/Cleric have a field day in those places

8 Fire seeds and a few Deathblows was all it took to clear out both of them completely.

Oh the joy of dropping 5 Beholders, 2 Elder Orbs and a couple of Gauths with a fireball the size of a grapefruit!

AFAIK Fireseed is very similar to MMM...Beholders will be easy but Illithids are a diffrent story....

Fire Seeds uses the same visuals as MMM, but is in effect a miniture Fireball that acts as a removeable ranged weapon. It can be used in conjuction with Deathblow for devastating effects, much like you can combine DB and Arrows of detonation or frag grenades (though neither are as easily accessible or great in numbers as the fire seeds)

Toasted 5 Mindflayers and a few umberhulks in the Temple sewers with one shot in the same manner as well [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hasted summons will clean house with the Drow. They are the least of your problems though. Heck, I considered it a breeze to slaughter all the Drow and Improved Beholders compared to the horror that is known as the Improved Mind Flayers.

Protection from Magical Weapons is going to be your best friend when it comes to the Improved Mind Flayers. Get ready to wear that Ring of Free Action too. Mirror Image is vital too.

The fact that someone allegedly saw fit to give every enemy Mage at least one Imprisonment gives me pause: Since summons created by clones do not count toward your summon limit, do they still not count against your limit even if they get Imprisoned?
