[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 4450237, member: 2020"] Trillirra was in a battle where we faced a room full of stone gargoyles and stone golems. Trillirra and the party had worked out a pre-arranged deal, where if she shouted a certain sound, it was indicative of an illusory fireball to be cast. This had been practiced to the point where nobody in the party had to make a save if caught in one of Trillirra's illusory fireballs ... so long as they got the signal first. So the fighters charged in, and Trillirra threw the Spectral Force of a Fireball, which detonated for 6d6 (Trillirra's level was 6.) The monsters failed their saves, and took the illusory damage. Trillirra then threw the Spectral Force of 6 goblins charging into the room, and attacking the monsters (6 hit dice of monsters, the maximum she was allowed as a 6th level wizard.) Although these goblins were rather useless in terms of attack, they diverted the attention of these powerful foes from our fighters. So blows that would have done upwards of 40 hit points of damage (in a single blow) to one of our own, instead destroyed illusions (which Trillirra had fall down dead.) Again, our rogue used distance fire (magical arrows were the only thing that worked against these stone behemoths) and the cleric cast supportive magic. The fighters took the honors, taking out the monsters with their massive blows, weapon specialization and great strength and multiple attacks overmatching the monsters. Another victory, and once again no casualties on our side. In fact, no serious injuries, even. - I remember a battle where Trillirra and several allies - fighters, went up against one of those subterranean behemoths that could deliver 7 to 70 points of damage per strike, and it got 4 strikes per round. Trillirra was 7th level, and she Stoneskinned the two strongest fighters in the group. Someone else had a Stoneskin scroll, and used it to protect a third fighter. Then the fighters, able to dish out massive damage themselves, went after that monster, and it never had a chance. No casualties or even any damage to our side, one seriously bad monster chopped down. [/QUOTE]
