Just wanted to clarify on the area of effect spells. Is Abi's Hwilting in this list? I recall a trap that sets off Abi's and my Mirror image did NOT protect me.

Just wondering....

ADHW is kinda special. Do not be misled by its' spell graphics. Think of it as a Fireball, as opposed to Cloudkill.

Protection from Magical Energy and Spell Immunity will nullify its' effects.

Thanks for clarifying....

curious how d you get the ring of gaxx playing solo with a mage??? im clueless when it comes to protection against imprisonment. the only way i know how to beat kangaxx is by using korgan

Defeat gaxx is easy with a mage/sorc.

Spell imunity, TS, IA and hes toast. took him in 3 rounds, 2 TS on for lich form and one for demi

I've not actually got to ToB, but I'm soloing SoA at the moment with ToB installed (which makes this relevant).

The char is an elven assassin (straight class) who has hit level 32 already - I'm currently camped in the graveyard ready to destroy the vampires, so I'll probably be level 34 (or more)upon arriving at spell-hold. I really can't face playing through the rest of the game to gain an extra six HLAs. What's the point?

Moral of the story is that a) soloing is way too easy with the right tactics for any career, especially once you get the HLAs. and b) that thieves level up way too quickly. To be honest, it's nearly killed my enjoyment of the game, though I know I'll be back [img]smile.gif[/img]

antonius: try inzane dificulty and install improved patches, if its still to easy then. then it may be boring yes, But sorc/mage are the esiast to do it woth, with the right tactiks. Belive me!!! or u can ask dundee, i'm shure he agrees with me

Soloing is in itself fun, as its a challenge. I checked out soling SOA and TOB with a Beast Master, and I was having an easy time to be honest... I DID have a tough time with any respectable mages until I got clubs that do elemental damage and the like. Staff Maces make excellent dual wielding weapons, as they do 2d4+2 with a great speed factor.

I plan to solo next with a Blade. Boy, is that ever one MEAN fighter! used right, they rip through enemies like butter.
