I started a new no-reload game with a fighter/mage/thief and ended up getting trashed by that mage at the FOA. I was wondering if anybody had some advice on dealing with him.
While I'm not doing a solo playthrough, I didn't want to pick up xzar and montaron (good alignment) so I only had Imoen with me.
The problem was this: without cheesing by stealthing and just backstabbing the guy before he talks (I don't want to metagame) it was impossible to kill him before he casts charm and kills me due to the mirror image protection. Any ideas on how to deal with this? (would prefer tips that don't involve simply selecting a different class like an Inquisitor that's immune to charm)
