He "possesses the most of Bhaal's essence, except for you."
He's saved for the very last. He sends his underlings to threaten and kill Sendai and Abazigal, respectively. So why is he such a pathetic loser when it comes to actual combat? Even in his Improved version, I was forced to--oh no--withdraw a party member from the fight and have him drink some Potions because he was getting low on health. Oh dear. And we took him on without even any spells, buffing or otherwise: We just ran up and whacked his Monks, then pounded on the man himself. Even Improved Gromnir put up more of a fight than this twit. Does anyone out there think he's difficult?

I don´t. :/
What makes him even more pathetic are those "Lunar stance!" lines and other idioticies he keeps shouting... [img]tongue.gif[/img] |

Only thing that could possibly make him difficult....
is if your party is nothing but mages. His magic resistance could give a party of mages some trouble until they use the Lower Resistance spell.

Neo, that resistance can be taken care of in about 2 seconds. You stick a few 'lower resistances' in a spell trigger and cast it on him right away. Six is right. Balthazar is a pathetic monk. My currently level 18 monk from SoA could probably kick his butt in 1 on 1 combat. Anyone have any idea what level monk he is? Seeing how Balthazar's monks are so weak (yet barely weaker than him), he either needs to be given stronger protectors or be made considerably stronger. He should have faster than normal movement for even a monk since he has so much of the Bhaal essence in him. His level should be raised considerably. Since he doesn't seem to be tough, his 'to hit' needs to be raised (raising his strength should be fine. Maybe to 18/00? Or if it is already around there, it should be put higher, like 21.). A strength of 21 may seem to high, but think about it. He's got plenty of Bhaal's essence in him, he's a fighter, and he needs to be able to hit you in the first place to even deal out damage. From 18/00 to 20, the 'to hit' factor is at +3, so if it needs to be increased, it should be placed at 21 so that he gets a +4 to hit. Can't really think of anything else right now since he can't cast spells. I dunno what special abilities he could be given either.

Gotta agree with Six as well. Balthazar is a pathetic excuse for a monk. He has to be the easiest of the five without ANY doubt.

Easiest one, I agree. Maybe that first one with the boots of speed was easier, that's it.

PRATIs?
Sorry, I've been out of the loop as far as acronyms go, what spell is that? o.o
