Message: <blockquote data-quote="Agent Oracle" data-source="post: 3460243" data-attributes="member: 40076">Okay, according to the death Knight Template, I think i know how the Death knight survived there.For starters, he has a spell resistance 16+1 per character level (making his SR minimum of 24)Secondly he can cast Fireball as a 20th level sorcerer once per day.Now, can you voluntarily fail your own check to overcome spell resistance, like you can voluntarily fail a saving throw?  If he can, he can use it as a space-clearing burst, centered on himself.Anyhow, unless someone arrives soon to back up V, s/he's about to take really, really heavy damage.So, if you were a 13th level caster, how would you stop a single, extraordinarily tough opponent from murdering you before you can say "five foot step"?Actually, I've thought of this.1. Force cage.  No save, no SR.  If it was good enough for Xyklon2. Delayed blast fireballs four of them, set at the outside corners of the force cage, set them to detonate in decending time durations (5 rounds, 4 rounds, 3 rounds, 2 rounds...) \3. On the last round, run like hell and drop the forcecage....Problem is, unless he has four scrolls of "delayed Blast Fireball" he's not going to have enough 7th level spells to pull that off...</blockquote>
