[QUOTE="Dark Dragon, post: 37084, member: 1115"] Hmmmm, well...I'll just explain a simple tactic that thwarts ranged attacks with arrows/bolts, dispel magic, magic missile and fireball/flamestrike...The mage is protected by Resist Elements (Fire), Protection from Arrows and Shield. He just flies around in 400 ft above ground and releases one fireball after another, first targeted on an enemy mage.
