I don't want to go through all the solo mage tactics but if you want to check out the Journal of Elmonster the mage on baldurdash you'll find all you need to know. Thanks for this jounal and evrything else at baldurdash should of course go to Kevin Dorner

Personally my solo fighter mage uses the Rod of Smiting against Iron and Adamantium Golems and Crom Faeyr against all the rest. make pretty short work of 'em that way.

Also use the Rod of Smiting against the brain golems in the underdark.

Aegis, it was not meant as an insult against you personally, it was just a wee bit of nasty humour that came on the spur of the moment when I read your idea about a tattoo of your own face on the back of your head. If you do take it as an insult please first look to see that there is a smiley/wink ...

Have you possibly been blinded, certain spells (notably holy smite) have a problem whereby the blindness caused by them was permanent.

Most uses of the cloudkill spell are indeed very cheesey, especially when combined with invisibility for the casting mage. The reason that it is so cheesy is that enemy AI is so poor that the monsters just stand around in a cloud of choaking nastyness until they are dead, any good PnP DM would never ...

Generally speaking I play the game on Core rules, mainly because I don't like the fact that on normal you get max HP/Level and that you automatically learn all spells.

However at the moment I am soloing through on insane lvl just so I can say I've done it.

Weasel, 1 AGP slots, 3 PCI slots, intergrated sound and a micro tower case. Wow, sounds like a cut down system to me. Personally I would avoid it if at all possible.
