If your Sorc/Wizard can cast Mordenkainens Sword, the Guardian becomes much easier to kill. Again I used summons (undead mostly) to soak up his melee attacks. Without Summoned creatures or Otilukes Res. Sphere as protection the only real way to survive melee with this guy would be with many mirror images. Blink and Blur would help as would Improved Invis. As these give an immediate chance to miss from concealment. Does the guardian have Blind Fight? Some of the Yaun Ti do. Basically you'd need to tie the Guardian up in Melee and hit him from afar with Mord. Sword and repeated lightning attacks like Call Lightning and Static Charge.

Question: If you have the Blind Fight Feat and have Blink in effect, and miss an attack because of the 20% instant miss penalty from Blink do you get to recheck?

I see no point in risking my neck when I can use my wits as well

@ Heidrek

I think I used so many instances of heal and spontaneous heal spells the last time. As I had the gnome wizard and couldn't find mord's sword scroll, I was stuffed on that strategy. Yes, my druid kept casting the lightning spells but that took a while as they strike not so often.

Will check out the blind-fight thing. If that is the case, blind-fight would be more useful! At the moment, I think it's quite a useless feat. Not many enemies are invisible in the conventional sense when they attack you. I would have also thought that if you were blinded, it would also work (hence the name blind-fight), but I don't recall it making any difference.

@Brynn

Yes, I'd admit it was a stupid, blind luck battle!
