I now this topic has been brought up about a hunderd times but something really bothers me.
I never had much trouble with any spellcaster (with the exceptions of Kangaxx and Jon himself)in Bg2 but since we will most likely encouter a lot more of them in the expansion im a little worried about the no saving throw spells like imprisoment.
No matter how strong you're fighter is he will always be taken out in the first shot.
Spell immunitie once a day for every five levels of the caster for all fighting classes would be fair since they can't summon any shields.
I would like to know you're opinions on this.

No prob for a Monk. Magic resistance normally worked a treat for me.
Potions that resist magic help, as does the anti magic scroll.

Plus with all the disruptor devices you can use, I don't think there's an imbalance at all.

"Can I touch it?"
"No. It can't be played"
"Can I look at it?
"No we've seen enough of that one....."

Does magic resistance help against spells with no saving throws?

Magic resistance doesnt work with the Inprisonment spell. If it doesnt say anything in the spell description, magic resistance works with the spell.

Inprisonment is SO COOL !!!!

That sucks, they should balance all classes.
Although fighters to get a nifty Whirlwind attack in TOB

Sure, if you have one of your party members cast a defense spell on ya, but not for a solo fighter.
