[QUOTE="Nareau, post: 169977, member: 969"] [b]Some tactics for Imix[/b] Use Maliskra (the medusa) to good effect. She's actually only a 5th level cleric (with another level in a PrC). Imix's touch AC is 16. Protection from Good will boost it to 18 (vs. the good guys). If you feel like changing around the equipment list for Maliskra, give her a couple of potions of Haste. That'll push his touch AC to 22. Have her prep a couple of Summon Monster spells in the hopes the PC's will burn some spells on them. I would certainly have her prep a couple of Protection From Elements (Cold). The PC's know their fighting fire-types, so they'll be preparing Cold spells. Also remember that clerics tend to have low Ref saves. So I would start out with Imix and Maliskra summoning some nasties, then hitting the party with Fireball and Fire Seeds. The PC's will no doubt have a lot of Protection From Fire spells cast on them, so you should wear them down one at a time. You should also have Maliskra try and hit the party sorceror or rogue with her Petrifying Gaze. You could also have her cast Shield Other on Imix, and hide in the background healing herself. Keep in mind that single opponents will fall easily to organized parties. It's vital that Imix have some allies (summoned creatures) to keep the PC's busy. I would target their spellcasters first, then work up to the fighter types. That way, you're much more likely to even the playing field early in the battle. Incidentally, are you really firmly opposed to house-ruling Harm? You might want to think about that carefully (if you haven't already). You're right to worry--it can ruin what would otherwise be a very cool and epic battle. [/QUOTE]
