[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 182484, member: 198"] The Sigil - Thanks for the sugegstions. No "sorry" needed. As I'd mentioned in the original post, I already sugegsted to the DM that I give him some suggestions, but he didn't want any. I know it's a little strange to make suggestions how to challenge your own PC, but I was getting tired of complaints about the PC. TrizzlWizzl - The summon monster thing has never happened. Blur is one of the first things that came to mind for me, but I don't think I ever saw that used either. Some of the NPCs have recently started using buffing spells, so they're getting better. But my DM could defnitely use some work on the tactics. My PC does get targeted once in a while, but I don't think I've ever seen the alienist specifically be targeted, which is somewhat weird considering he's the obvious spellcaster in the group. And we've had only two PCs die in all this time, although a few have dropped to negatives (albeit it's a rare event). Since you asked for an event where Eranilor kicked ass, here's one: Warning....RttToEE spoilers below . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I think the big event that triggered complaints about the PC was a recent fight we had with a bebilith. The creature had been tearing through the Temple and we'd eventually tracked it down.

We realised that and headed in what turned out to be the right direction, and the kender, scouting ahead with a potion of darkvision, warned us that it was waiting for us.
