Aerich, in your opening post you said that you want a monk for the 8 chambers. I currently do not have a Monk in my party, but I'm doing okay at these things.

Is there some other bonus if I use a Monk?

Nope. I just like using a monk there. Naturally high AC, evasion, and no need to rest in between chambers.

Have you reached the last chamber yet?

The monk is the easiest way of passing through all chambers. OTOH, a sorcerer or a druid might have good chances to getting too if the monk is not available. In the 8th chamber that's particularly true if you have some fire elemental summoning spell.

Not sure that I'd want to try the 8th with a druid. Without the ability to go invisible or protect from evil (for your elementals), it's going to be tough to get a fire elemental to ignore you and deal with the monks.

OTOH, Sorc or Cleric works fine. Summon fire elemental, then cast Invisibility or Sanctuary, and run away from the fire blasts.

Yes, the druid is definitely not that much recommended for the 8th chamber, but it can be done. Druid however shines in all the other chambers because he/she can summon animals to use as fodder and summon magical weapons. Not to mention the chamber of silk. By that time a druid should be immune to poison.

My druid did the chambers without facing major problems. Only in the last chamber she needed a second attempt.
You should take a druid with you anyway because of the battle squares.

Not yet. I'm about to do the clockwork one (I was almost done with it but had to shut down immediately b/c of real life last week)

The character I'm using is a Deep Gnome Fighter 4/Rogue 3/Paladin 3/Illusionist 2. His high DEX and Evasion have helped a lot so far, as has his *** in Large Swords.

What is your reasoning behind using a druid in particular for Battle Squares? Offhand, I'd say a druid is more valuable for lightning spells against the Guardian.
