However, I don't think haste plus improved invisibilty plus disintegrate and then disintegrate makes for a fun playing experience.It didn't help that only incorporeal creatures and Chosen of Mystra are immune to disintegrate, and it's pretty easy to tell if you're fighting the former.I recently used three barbed devils [3.5] in an encounter. Running the encounter without knowing the stats for scorching ray was pretty difficult, but we all had fun. The encounter actually lasted six rounds, due to their high AC and hit points, good saves and SR. In the end, the party actually felt challenged, and used up some resources too, rather than ending the battle in round one with a hold monster or two followed by sneak attack action <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> Cloudgatherer,you double posted <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />BuzzardYour DM must be nicer than mine. I've faced spellcasters, summoned or mobile creatures, archers, etc. Personally I think wizards have too strong offense and not enough defense. It's like I'm always only one roll from death. Sheesh, one good chain lightning could take me out. Conversely, I can pretty much end an encounter with a single confusion spell, which also isn't that much fun.ByronDReally?!HongSimple. I can still carry around a +1 flaming burst bow, then get +4 cold iron arrows, for a total of +4 to hit and damage, plus another +1d6 damage, and cold iron penetration.</blockquote>
