[QUOTE="Sinjin the Rogue, post: 1053121, member: 2288"] "- Some spells that will help you: Freedom of Movement (you don't want to be grappled by a dragon, do you?), Protection from Elements (for fire), Stoneskin (It will decrease the damage from the Dragon a little), everything that increases your AC. Be prepared to receive a targeted dispel magic. Get Spell Resistance (as the Spell) on you all." I'm good in the buff department. "- Since the offensive powers of the spellcasters will be hindered by the dragon's saving throws, they should concentrate on protecting, buffing and healing the others (and themselves). Healing is very important! Make sure that you have lots of Heal and Mass Heal spells packed." That's what I am thinking. My wizard will spend time buffing and throwing up protections while the cleric heals. Fortunately, the cleric is good, and can therefore substitute healing spells for those he has prepared. "- If your DM hasn't changed Harm, use it! If you get over the DR of the dragon (which might take several tries), the dragon will be done for. Usually a cheesy tactic, but against that enemy, you'll need it." While our DM has not nerfed the harm spell, we doubt that the dragon will ever allow the cleric to get close enough to touch him. If the cleric tries that, I'm sure the dragon will grab him. "- Try to learn as much as possible about the dragon and his tactics, and about his lair. Incorporate this knowledge into your tactics, but be prepared to change it, cause the dragon might have spread misinformation." There's no one to gather any information from. (edited) "- Use True Seeing - you don't want to beat up an illusion, wasting spell durations and precious spells." Already prepared. "- Be prepared to die! Inform someone where you are going, ideally a priest. Tell them to true ressurect the cleric if you aren't back by (insert reasonable date here). So you can cast TR on the others." We realize this battle will be our characters' final battle, and we will either succeed and live, or fail and die. Unfortunately, telling anyone where we are going won't help. (edited) "- Use all your resources. You have no use for that 10.000 gp you saved when you're dead (but remember to have enough cash to pay for resurrections)." See above, but rest assured, we have all spent every CP we had in order to prepare for this battle. - Use scrolls and staffs and potions and all other perishables for the spells if your slots aren't enough. We are all buying potions and magical aids. I burned off quite a bit of experience in scribing a number of scrolls too, so I think we have completed all of teh preparations. Again, thanks for the tips. [/QUOTE]
