You know there's going to be a fight and they don't so you get to choose how and when it starts. You can use choke points, fire, all sorts of spells, pushing people off cliffs and so on. For example with that specific fight [spoiler]I normally open that fight by waiting for their wizard to walk on to the balcony (as she does) and getting my strongest character to just shove her off. Hit turn based mode as she steps outside to ensure you can do it. This kill her 100% as long as one of your shoves works (or any similar knockback, like thunderwave or mobile flourish or maybe even you can throw her with Karlach or Laezel though I doubt it). Sometimes the people inside don't even notice, but even if they do, the room next door is an amazing chokepoint, like you can drop a cloud of daggers on the doorway and go out of LOS and they'll have to come through it. Or move a character up and CC one so they come staggered. [/Spoiler] Really, if you are willing to start a fight and not go in face first a ton of extremely hard fights become very doable. Which seems very D&D to me (particularly 1st through 3rd edition admittedly). PC Paladins of Devotion may not be able to do this, admittedly but hey if you choose to handicap yourself!</p></blockquote><p></p>
