I don't know if you know all of these but for people who are new here are tips on battles.
1/ against a very tough Fighter: If the combined team can’t take on this fighter even using magic, then use this tactic. Have your mage on stoneskin and fireshield. Go in and attract this fighter’s attention. The fighter hiting a mage with stoneskin is the same as a goblin really. Whilst the rest of your fighters will smash him in without getting hurt. Have lots of stoneskins ready! Ofcourse you can hit and run but if anyof you played IWD, you’ll know what I am talking about……some time there is NO WHERE to RUN. 2/against mage/lich. Your approach with mages should be lots of non-stop mini damage. Such as poison. Poison and such will disrupt a mage badly as with insect swarm. As soon as the mage is not taking damage..you are doomed. You must cast breach non-stop and truesight as well. Any stun or fear effects must be removed ASAP with dispel magic. 3/ Dragons: Dragons have a horde of spells, but because they can attack, they don’t really get to use a lot of it’s decent spells. Therefore the more you drag out the fight the worse it is. Go for kill as fast as possible. Lower it’s resistance and go in with fast never miss spells like magic missile. |

I thought I contribute my favourite tatic here, people may already use it or it may seem obvious but I thought I say it anyway, presenting the cloak and dagger.
Make sure that your whole party is near their enemy but not in sight of them, make sure that everyone has all the offensive and defensive abilities that any charecter in your party can have are activated. Once you are satisfied haste your party, get your mage to cast mass invisibility on your party. Surround your enemy and then attack as one. I have defeated the twisted rune, celestial fury party and the party in the sewers using this tatic with ease. Even dragons fall to this. I hope this helps anyone. ------------------ Sigmar has only one foe, and he is Tiax! |

If there are mages casting good(deflective and protective spells on themselves just after finished talking,your thief or other with ranged weapons shold shoot him so spell failes

Here's a strategy a friend of mine came up with: Spell Trigger: Lower Resist x3, Chain Contingency: Horrid Wilting x3. This hurts. A LOT. Oh, and against undead, especially groups of them, a great thing to do is create a few Elementals, cast invis on your cleric (if you have one) and one your mage, then send the Elementals into the room with the undead. They will attack, and in a few more seconds, move your mage to the edge of the room, and your cleric a bit farther in, and then simultaneously cast Horrid Wilting and Sunbeam (Sunray?). Stuff will really start to die. And finish to die, too.
