What is up with these Cowled wizards attacking me all over the Place? I have a rep of 11 and a nuetral good party so I try to be good but I have had to kill about of a dozen or so of these guys so far. I'm getting ready to visit Bohdi in the graveyard, so every time I get attacked by wandering Vampires The Cowled ones show up as I cast protection from negative plane energy. The last fight I lost 4 rep points just by killing 4 wizards. They were Red circled so I should'nt have lost the points right? Anyone have a clue as to avoid this? Will my ultimate triumph over Bohdi solve this issue? I figure if I destroy Her and her minions then the Vamps wont be attacking me so I won't need to cast so much magic in the city? Any help would be appreciated thanks

Or you can apparently just kill them all and eventualy they give up. I havent managed to do it yet though, playing homeworld and Sangband too much recently.

Anyway, they're not to tough and give fair XP, and the shoudnt cost any rep points either. Maybe you got an innocent by mistake, but I thought that cost 10 points. Weird.

Yep, you gotta "pay the piper" if you're going to be casting magic in the city streets. Go to the Gov't District. You need to enter the very large building at the top of the map. You can pay your $5,000 gp inside there...then you can cast an Earthquake in the middle of the Temple District...and nobody will say word one to you.

OR....as andrewas said, you can just keep killing them. Since you are playing a good party, you would probably want to pay the fee. But I'm playing an assassin who hates to part with any of his gold, so I just attack them when they show up. If you decide on this course of action, I recommend two things.

First - DO NOT cast magic when attacked by thugs, bandits, or Bohdi's cronies in the streets. The LAST thing you need is 4 Cowled Enforcers showing up during the heat of a battle and joining sides with your enemies.

Second - So I "draw them out" on my terms. Go into a building and cast all of your "buff" spells (Haste, Aid, etc, etc). Save one "buff" spell for your mage (like Mirror Image or Stoneskin). Go outside and cast the final spell on your mage. You're party is now "buffed and ready" for the Enforcers when they show up.

Fight them on YOUR terms...not theirs. Just out of curiosity, does anybody know how long it takes for the Enforcers to quit showing up?

As far as i know, the sixth or seventh time you'll get a warning, and the time after that you'll fight the Big Cahuna...

He isn't much better, by the way. Just some higher level spells than the others - but if he won't have the chance to cast those anyway, it matters not.

All are very vulnerable to Insect Plague, Traps, Skull Traps, etc... The usual Mage slaying tactics.

and traps.

Lay a few traps, cast a spell. Watch them die. Rinse. Repeat.

Spell cast at your leisure...

Question is - can someone tell me an effect which *counts* as spellcasting that a solo Assassin could do? I believe that in unpatched versions that Hallowed Redeemer damage was a spell effect. I also know that true sight from the Thieve's Hood is (I once gave it to a thief via shadowkeeper).

Question Mark

Juss turn into a mustard jelly with the cloak of sewers and soak up their magic!
Then slay them when they have no magic left!

That's just one of the reasons I'm playing an assassin this time around. In my first game, I had to "play nice" and go along with their demands.

This time...they're dog meat.
