I've actually never messed with all of ToTSC in previous runs, opting to finish the game and export my character into BGII. But I'm doing a complete run through BG1:EE to get my character ready for II:EE.
So this Aec'Letec... Omg, this guy...
I just want to see what opinions and strats people used for this encounter.
The main issue I have is the super cheesy death-gaze-your-whole-party thing. I play core rules, so unless I purposely kill one of my own, they soon become gibbed out of existence. I haven't tried everything yet, but so far, a couple dispel attempts hasn't cleared the dying status yet.
As far as strats go, I tend to shy away from any meta gaming, but due to the sheer cheese in this encounter, there is no other way. The way I am justifying pre-buffing the party for this encounter is for one, you are warned in advance to the possiblity of running into a powerful demon, and two, my charname is a bard so he would know of tales of such beasts, knowing what to prepare for etc... So far the best run of him has gotten me 2 dead party members that I've had to kill myself in order to keep them from gibbing.
Ok, so does Death Ward work? Viconia can only memorize three of them, and kinda pointless not having it on everyone anyways. When I get back at it, I'm going to see what free action pots and protect evil 10' radius gets me. Lol.
I'll be back with updates!
