[QUOTE="zypherillius, post: 3070683, member: 40403"] i wouldnt disjunction him unless your wizard battle is a one shot deal, you risk making the wizard a d4 fighter at that point that would need levels in swashbuckler to make a difference. for some pre-battle prep, try scrying the bbeg to find out what he is so you can better prepare, if hes immune to fire damage, energy substitute out the delay blast fireballs for something that hes not immune to. id definatly start off with the time stop, then hope you roll high then park an appropriate amount of delay blast fireballs right in front of him, since DBF doesnt really target, its legal. then when the time stop runs out, open up with a comet fall followed up by a greater celerity into another time stop, then start the process over again. if you dont like that, id still time stop, but in the time stop throw out some of the biggest summons you can find, or ramp up some kind of gigantic illusion to throw him off. or if all else fails, hit him with energy drain, its no saving throw, but only if hes not undead, dont want to give him hit points. another good spell is avisculate, i forget if its in any of the completes, but i do know its in the spell compendium and libris mortis. you can split ray it, taking it up to 9th level, then the bbeg will essentially lose 75% if his hit points in one spell if you are allowed to use either of those books.
