What does Improved Fladorn do? can anyone give me a quick rundown of her script?

edit: ingame, not the technical gibberish, thanks

Don't think I could manage technical gibberish anyway...

I assume Improved Faldorn is using the same stuff shapeshifters get with the Shapeshifter rebalancing part of Ease of Use. She starts the fight shifted into leopard form with a ton of druid type buffs (sheild of the archons, physical mirror) and can quite happily cast spells while in her animal form, as you can with the mod. Also she regenerates very fast and is immune to mundane weapons...again, these are abilities you gain with the component installed. She opens up with some druid uber spells namely nature's beauty and creeping doom, so unless you've got 100% magic resistance, you're going to be in trouble (provided in my case via the yellow potions Roger sells)...I was fairly low level and only one level 7 slot which I wasted on creeping doom, nature's beauty might have been a better choice.

I'm going to try this fight again next time Cernd with the mod installed myself as I didn't have it when I came across her last time and couldn't beat her without resorting to cheese.

Kuriosan actually went down easy in my game. He confronted me right outside of the Sea's Bounty in the Docks. We exchanged some blows then my party retreated down the steps after he let off a cloud kill. The next thing I knew I was being attacked by some Cyric cultists (more tactics.) I thought, oh great I'm dead now. But Kuriosan dissappeared! I mopped up the cultists and decided to go back to the bounty for another round. Right inside the door was Kuriosan! I guess he decided to get a drink too, all that acid makes a ninja thirsty. So by then his PFMW had worn off and he was just sitting there defenseless with my entire party surrounding him. A quick, bloody beatdown ensued and he went down without flicking another drop of acid.

Well, @lipe, thinking about challenge, since mages are the most cheesiest possible characters, a non mage party is actually a helluvaparty. It has been one of the hardest pieces of game I've ever played, cause every mage slain was a conquest - can you ever imagine yourself disrupting the enemy lines with a non magic damageable character?

I'm sure I'm using my clerical habilities MUCH better after that, not to mention party tactics.

Irenicus? How did I beat him? Traps, lots of traps, wizard slayer front, high regeneration from potion on him, very high thac0. No hits until his flame shield goes down, and then use him as bait for the assassin traps. Boooom. Irenicus down!

Well, his friends have been previously engaged, of course.

Now Tactics is way more hard. Stopped playing this party for one FMT run. Will engage Tactics this way again soon... very soon.

A non-mage party sounds kind of cool actually. Throw in an Anti-Paladin for true sight and dispel hits and you should have a grand 'ol time.
