hm, what about just summoning 3 groups of hobgoblins archers with the wand of summoning and using the boots of speed to distract drizzt and avoid his attacks? since he isnt immune to 20 hit rolls... is how i beat him hehe.
@tdrc66 Hello! It can be found in the Under cellar (Baldur's Gate), worn by Quenash. She stands in a room near the intersection of the cellar (X=1307, Y=1313, AREA=?). The best way to get it is to pickpocket her.
Killing Drizzt for the xp and/or loot is obviously evil as per D&D alignment from 2nd edition. Even if you did not kill him for that reason the fact that he is a zealot make that there's no rational reason for reasonable characters to end his life in order to promote good in the universe. Being allowed to wield the +5 scimitar doesn't make any sense i.e. you need to kill Drizzt (an innocent) yet only good characters can use the scimitar.
@Zozim57 It's the magic of Roleplay to allow us to justify any situation so unrational it seems. What if at the moment we met I doubted it was Drizzt but a shapechanger? Or if for some reason I went berserk and killed him by accident? There are countless possibilities. By the way, you can be good and at the same time commit a crime. It can be justified by greater goodness (difference between evil done and evil avoided is positive). You can also commit a crime unintentionnaly (accident/madness).
Agreed. The game has been inconsistant regarding alignment. Rangers and Paladins becoming fallen when they shouldn't have, regarding reputation as the only factor...
@Zozim57 I hate to intrude on a very interesting conversation, but in I think they just changed it too make it more commercial. The minor tweaks are only really spotted by die hard fans such as yourself but it makes the whole experience for a player a lot easier too understand if they only have to worry about their reputation when concerning there alignment and how their actions make implications too!
quote : "It can be justified by greater goodness (difference between evil done and evil avoided is positive)"
D&D 2e alignment disregards consequentialism as a factor to determine one's alignment. Only the character (the virtues, vices and traits) of the moral agent is taken into consideration. However, the actions may help determine the character (but not always obviously).
ignore my previous statment. I can see now when I tested it out myself you gain +2 ac for each spell. But this is not explained throughly in the spell description, it is only supposedly to give +2 to all saving throws, but not armor. Baffling indeed.
If I ever play this awesome game again (doubtful since I have completed it like 5 times and it would get pretty boring) I will kill this son of a bitch
Thanks all for your comments! Already 2 years since I posted this video! BG is a game you can beat easily with tweaked characters! You're right wcdornez, owning legends and defeating without a scratch threatening foes is very enjoyable. DGneoseeker, I think he drops both scimitars. Play BG and have fun!
The best part of bashing Dritzz` Do'urden in BG2 was that pesky wizard that would come to claim the items I robbed by killing Dritzz Do'urden and his party, and the way I would always fuck him by dropping the bag of holding on the floor each time he would appear to claim it and all the items it contained, ultimately keeping the trophy items from the whole killed slaughtered butchered Dritzz Do'urden party, and making the pleasure of bashing Dritzz Do'urden and his party all the sweeter.
Great vid. It was my pleasure bashing Dritzz Do'urden each time I played BG1, and it was even greater pleasure bashing Dritzz Do'urden and his whole party each time I played BG2, and looting all that good stuff they wear with them selves. Fuck Dritzz Do'urden.
My cousin was making joke about Baldur's looking like cut-out paper figures, LOL. But I think I would still appreciate it if I play it again, after Dragon Age, I was dying to play NWN, just finished it, I wanna play Baldur's now.
@toddvidclack Get a look at the video description. I listed everything you need to know about how to slaughter Drizzt yourself. Statistics aren't important, since you will use potions to increase them anyway. Have fun :) !
Techically, Drizzt was designed to be immortal to any "normal" character. You can't defeat him without cheating tho they made it "sort of" possible in the last patches.
easiest way to kill him was (as a rogue or fighter/rogue) to backstab him, run away, restealth when he's out of sight and do it over. killed him with a really low level fighter/rogue that way. another to make a bard, level it up till improved invisibility is available- improved invisibility was overpowered in BG1 cause they couldn't hit you at all, and a bard's or rogue's every hit counts as a backstab when impr. invis is on (had a cursed +1 2handed sword on my bard 4 some insane backtabs hehe)
@TheJakan actually in the silent blade Artemis Entreri kills him with the release of kimmuriels psionic kinetic shield. Then Jarlaxle has Rai'guy ressurect him. So not indestructible :P
I remember killing this dude with the Gnoll Summoning wand. The wand was bugged and it had infinite charges. The spawned Gnolls would would be instantly hostile to him and he would not be hostile to the party. It took about 5 million Gnolls to kill him but it was really fun to do over and over. The swords and armor he drops are SWEET. Used them all through the game.
Usually what I do is grab that bard you get from killing the witch, send him in to attack drizzt, and have one of my guys slowly range down drizzt by sitting on that island in the middle of the map. It's a sweet glitch, especially for a druid/fighter.
There is a cheat in BG that allows you to spawn either a friendly Drizzt or a hostile Drizzt. One of my favorite things to do in the original BG was to spawn an army of each and watch them battle it out in a Drizzt on Drizzt war!
Yeah I solo'd him by standing on the island in the middle of the lake, sending in a sacrificial bard to atk him, and sling firing bullets at him until he died.
I love 3D isometric. I think the early jump to 3D was a fail. Now it has become a standard. But still, I find BG graphics really nice. There are so much details you can look at. Without mentioning musics, and voices...
I also killed Drizzt in one-on-one melee combat, but used a pure level 7 fighter (no expansion). Probably a few potions, but no spells. BG was such a good game...
Firstly, by increasing your Dexterity, which you can do at start by giving it points, or after by drinking potions (see below), or reading tomes.
Secondly, by using items like belts (for specific types of attacks), shields, cloacks & helms (Balduran), weapons (Drizzt +5 scimitar), robes or even armors after you launched your spells, and rings.
These are permanent items, but you can use temporary ones like potions to lower your AC.
I found out that you can actually stack each of the Protection from Evil spells with itself (major bug!). Thus you can reach very low AC & Saves easily.
I also forgot to mention the Paladin's ability of the same name.
Sorry, I should I've mentioned it. You have the Mage & the Cleric Protection from Evil spell. Try to cast them plus the Protection from Evil 10' radius on one character and it should stack.
You're right about the duration. It makes those spells really powerfull for physical fighting. It also increase your Saves.
Drizzt had terrible luck on his attack rolls - yet he misses with a 15? His opponent must have had at least -11 AC! In a fair fight, no one beats Drizzt (except perhaps Conan...or James Bond)!
With a Fighter/Mage (on ToTSC) it's very easy to take the AC to very low levels. The spells combined with the apropriate items can easily take you even under -11.
Killing Drizzt is kind of sad, don't you think? I can understand trying for fun but when I first head his death cry, I felt I'd done a BAD THING.
The best no-cheese way (IMO) is to get the two weird potions from the guy at the Nashkel circus; get a sling and magic bullets then drink the strength potion. Drink a potion of Haste & run like mad around the mound off to the right of Drizzt's spawning spot. Fire sling bullets and hope you don't run out before he's dead!
Well, I think he was a bit arrogant, and I didn't like him stealing my kills of Gnolls, so he deserved to die, honestly ;) !
I like your idea, but Strength has no effect on range weapons' hit rolls, so it would be very hard to kill him that way since he has a base AC of -10 if I remember well.
Don't forget though that strength *does* have an affect on *hurled* weapons - & sling bullets are hurled. I used this method myself & I have a sneaking suspicion it's why those potions were included in the game.
I don't think bullets are hurled weapons, since it isn't mentioned as such by the manual (see page 77) which hints at throwing axes and daggers only. As missile weapons, the Dexterity modifier applies to them (pages 77 &134 ). I do not even believe the Strength modifier would apply for damage bonus.
They are, I assure you. Have you ever used a sling? The weapon doesn't *fire* the missile like a bow does an arrow or a crossbow does a bolt. The sling is whirled and then one of the two ends of the string is released so that the stone can fly out. In effect it's a machine to increase the throwing momentum by exactly the same principle as a woomera does for a spear.
Plus, the game clearly adds strength damage. Drink that str. potion and hit anyone with a sling bullet. The dam. is like 18!
Well, I was referring to the game only :) ! You may be right, since I only used the manual to give you an answer, and I know the game doesn't always work like said. I even remember getting high damages with bows, so the damage formula may not be so well handled. It also seems that slings use the Strength modifier in Icewind Dale.
they become neutral that stands still and drizzt wont attack them when he becomes hostile, even if they completly blocks him from moving. equipt your character with halberier and keep max distance, and have fun killin immobile drizzt xD
there is one even more ridiculous strategy on this, and you can do it with just about any level, even straingth away you start to play the game from begining.
just fill your grup with characters so you have group of six.
then you head for the dritzz. once there and all is done and you can move freely around him again. surround him with your partymembers and remove them from party.
i'm not sure what you mean by the 20+12+8 because i played BG a long time ago. but make sure you summon all the monsters before you engage him. spawn them all around him and stand at max range to hit him. when the fight starts your monsters will start attacking, making it hard for drizzit to get through them. yes he will one shot them, but that's why you spawn more, hope that helps
i managed to kill drizzt plenty of times with a ridiculous strategy. try it out and you'll see it works. mind you haven't played this game in a LONG time but you should know what i'm talking about.
I had a level capped warrior class with max bow. had the best bow i could find and penetrating arrows. and then bought A LOT of monster rods. when you first encounter drizzt he leaves you alone. So i used the monster rods to spawn as many bad guys as i could between him and me.
Using the distance created I was able to kill him. I always kept my distance with the cheetah boots and spawned more bad guys when i could. it works pretty well.
Ithanks for the video. brings back a lot of memories.
First time i saw him slaying all the gnolls i knew i would have to kill him to loot what he has.^^ I was 12 hwen i played that, almost ten years ago. Funny though it was one of the best games i ever played. Oh and I did not manage to kill him in BG 1 but i have slain his party in BG 2 ]:->
actually i know a very lame way to kill drizzt, it's very very simple but i have never seen anyone mention it. it does not abuse bad bad pathing AI and you do not require any awesome gear.
just 5 characters (6 will be faster), 4 potions and a 2hander. and a lot of patience :)
you can do this at lvl 1 in theory, but you won't have the potions at that time.
the tactic is based on 2 common sense game mechanisms.
well it is majot cheese, but it's completely legit.
when he's neutral, click on him as if you were going to talk to him, if he stands still it's easier. then surround him with 4 characters in such a way his movement is completely blocked. have them drink a potion of invisibility. equip your remaining chars with a big 2handed weapon and postion them so that there's an invisible character between you and drizzt. and then just whack away. even a lvl1 mage can melee him to death.
helm of balduran a strength potion potion of heroism an armor spell, looks like shield the shield reminds me of a large shield +1, but there are many others which are better so it probably another one blur mirror image (which acts like stoneskin in BGI) haste the mace i can't identify one icon looks like confusion. probably not and another looks liks protection from evil, but drizzt is good (then again, i do suspect it gives a AC bonus to everything)
My favorite character to torment in BG1, par none. Noober gets close, but still not quite. My personal favorite is to dual a fighter into a rogue, play until the cap, enjoy a few nice potions and render him into giblets with a single backstab.
Perhaps I should summon swarm him once. Seeing Drizzt eaten alive by gibberlings and xvarts... hmmm....
yes bow are safer but since drizzt has such an incredible AC it takes seeveral minutes to kill him (well i always have a lowish lvl when i do it) and that would take A LOT of arrows :p
and having to renew my stacks every time is tedious. with a 2H i can just go read a book for a few minutes.
btw a similar tactic can be used on the doomsayer, another hard enemy. secure a corner with 3 invisible chars to protect your mage, and just cast the doomsayer to death
If I remember well, he wears a Mithril Chainmal, which is a Chainmal +4, and two Scimitars, one of them being +3, and the other one being +5 (+3 to Hit & Damage rolls and +2 to AC).
The effects invunerablity and shield, increase you resistance to Dritz's scemitars. Then Ghost armor, is wieghtless platemail. Great strength increases attack roles, especially for blunt weapons, like that mace. Mirror image to decrease accuracy, then a potion of something-or-another, that increases likely hood to dodge, or just gives a minus to attack roles. Did I miss anything?
You forgot Protection against Evil, Great Invisibility, Blur, Haste. I did not use Ghost armor. I do not mention all items, but I think it's obvious he's wearing the best ones.
The trick against Drizzt is to have a low THACO, because he has around -15 AC. He is wearing a chainmail, so that's why the hero is wielding a blunt weapon.
There is another trick to get low THACO, actually a bug. The spell Great Invisibility gives +4 to hit rolls, which is notably why Drizzt got hit on each roll.
Isn't Drizzt good? What good does protection against evil do? (serious question) Other than that, What is your class? Did you cast mirror image on yourself, or is there a potion for that?
I'm guessing it's because Dritz uses two semitar, and you had both invunerablity and shield, which increase your resitance to swords. Not to mention ghost armor and strength, one to increase damage and the other is weightless platemail. Then the mirror image spell, which as anyone who had trouble fighting Tarnesh knows, can be deadly in the number of spells/attacks can be completed in that time. Also an enchantment or potion to increase the possibility of a dodge.
ha! love this game, i still play it too :) the CLUA cheats are the best. i have a mage that can lightning 120+ damage. i also have a spell that i call "send to hell" and a "world's fireball." the game is legit. mabey i'll post a vid :)

What's the easiest way with Fighter/Mage to get your AC to very low levels?
cpthurme 2 years ago
There are three ways to increase your AC.
Firstly, by increasing your Dexterity, which you can do at start by giving it points, or after by drinking potions (see below), or reading tomes.
Secondly, by using items like belts (for specific types of attacks), shields, cloacks & helms (Balduran), weapons (Drizzt +5 scimitar), robes or even armors after you launched your spells, and rings.
These are permanent items, but you can use temporary ones like potions to lower your AC.

Thirdly, by using spells.
The three Protection from evil spells are stackable if I remember well.
Then, you can use Blur, Ghost armor, and Improved invisibility to lower your AC even more.
If you have a Cleric, Defensive harmony will make it untouchable.

I found out that you can actually stack each of the Protection from Evil spells with itself (major bug!). Thus you can reach very low AC & Saves easily.
I also forgot to mention the Paladin's ability of the same name.

Oh cool, thanks I'm just thinking of starting a Fighter/Illusionist Gnome :)

Also, I know there is Prot from Evil and Prot for 10' radius, what is the third one?
Sweet those spells last for a decent amount of time too!
cpthurme 2 years ago
Sorry, I should I've mentioned it. You have the Mage & the Cleric Protection from Evil spell. Try to cast them plus the Protection from Evil 10' radius on one character and it should stack.
You're right about the duration. It makes those spells really powerfull for physical fighting. It also increase your Saves.

Drizzt had terrible luck on his attack rolls - yet he misses with a 15? His opponent must have had at least -11 AC! In a fair fight, no one beats Drizzt (except perhaps Conan...or James Bond)!
KeldorDAntrell 2 years ago
With a Fighter/Mage (on ToTSC) it's very easy to take the AC to very low levels. The spells combined with the apropriate items can easily take you even under -11.
Ildraeth 2 years ago
Drizzt had 119 hit points minimum & 136 maximum. Cool!
KeldorDAntrell 2 years ago
Killing Drizzt is kind of sad, don't you think? I can understand trying for fun but when I first head his death cry, I felt I'd done a BAD THING.
The best no-cheese way (IMO) is to get the two weird potions from the guy at the Nashkel circus; get a sling and magic bullets then drink the strength potion. Drink a potion of Haste & run like mad around the mound off to the right of Drizzt's spawning spot. Fire sling bullets and hope you don't run out before he's dead!
KeldorDAntrell 2 years ago
Well, I think he was a bit arrogant, and I didn't like him stealing my kills of Gnolls, so he deserved to die, honestly ;) !
I like your idea, but Strength has no effect on range weapons' hit rolls, so it would be very hard to kill him that way since he has a base AC of -10 if I remember well.
Ildraeth 2 years ago
Don't forget though that strength *does* have an affect on *hurled* weapons - & sling bullets are hurled. I used this method myself & I have a sneaking suspicion it's why those potions were included in the game.
KeldorDAntrell 2 years ago
I don't think bullets are hurled weapons, since it isn't mentioned as such by the manual (see page 77) which hints at throwing axes and daggers only. As missile weapons, the Dexterity modifier applies to them (pages 77 &134 ). I do not even believe the Strength modifier would apply for damage bonus.
Ildraeth 2 years ago
They are, I assure you. Have you ever used a sling? The weapon doesn't *fire* the missile like a bow does an arrow or a crossbow does a bolt. The sling is whirled and then one of the two ends of the string is released so that the stone can fly out. In effect it's a machine to increase the throwing momentum by exactly the same principle as a woomera does for a spear.
Plus, the game clearly adds strength damage. Drink that str. potion and hit anyone with a sling bullet. The dam. is like 18!
KeldorDAntrell 2 years ago
Well, I was referring to the game only :) ! You may be right, since I only used the manual to give you an answer, and I know the game doesn't always work like said. I even remember getting high damages with bows, so the damage formula may not be so well handled. It also seems that slings use the Strength modifier in Icewind Dale.
Ildraeth 2 years ago
they become neutral that stands still and drizzt wont attack them when he becomes hostile, even if they completly blocks him from moving. equipt your character with halberier and keep max distance, and have fun killin immobile drizzt xD
may take quite a while though.
Mkananoja 2 years ago
there is one even more ridiculous strategy on this, and you can do it with just about any level, even straingth away you start to play the game from begining.
just fill your grup with characters so you have group of six.
then you head for the dritzz. once there and all is done and you can move freely around him again. surround him with your partymembers and remove them from party.

how did u get 20+12+8
fubbyquacker 2 years ago
i'm not sure what you mean by the 20+12+8 because i played BG a long time ago. but make sure you summon all the monsters before you engage him. spawn them all around him and stand at max range to hit him. when the fight starts your monsters will start attacking, making it hard for drizzit to get through them. yes he will one shot them, but that's why you spawn more, hope that helps
mojavis 2 years ago
i managed to kill drizzt plenty of times with a ridiculous strategy. try it out and you'll see it works. mind you haven't played this game in a LONG time but you should know what i'm talking about.
I had a level capped warrior class with max bow. had the best bow i could find and penetrating arrows. and then bought A LOT of monster rods. when you first encounter drizzt he leaves you alone. So i used the monster rods to spawn as many bad guys as i could between him and me.
mojavis 2 years ago
Using the distance created I was able to kill him. I always kept my distance with the cheetah boots and spawned more bad guys when i could. it works pretty well.
Ithanks for the video. brings back a lot of memories.

First time i saw him slaying all the gnolls i knew i would have to kill him to loot what he has.^^ I was 12 hwen i played that, almost ten years ago. Funny though it was one of the best games i ever played. Oh and I did not manage to kill him in BG 1 but i have slain his party in BG 2 ]:->

You're right except for the speed potion. A Haste spell was used instead! No spell on Drizzt (too high magic resistance anyway)!
Thanks for your comment :) !

lvls?
Must be 7/8 in both.. :P
Maybe strenght potions plus mirrored image plus hero potion or another potion like that one thats affect your thaco. Speed potion too
Hum.. reduced drizzit armor with any spell? Maybe that's influyed too
Good work anyway

Without strength potions and haste spell, that would indeed be a little hard. Maybe it's doable, but I'm not sure :) .

I really hate Drizzt (but I love any other drow) so I want to kill him. Unfortunately I couldn't do so yet. XD I'm in a party not alone.
Good job, hehe!
Drowfan 2 years ago
actually i know a very lame way to kill drizzt, it's very very simple but i have never seen anyone mention it. it does not abuse bad bad pathing AI and you do not require any awesome gear.
just 5 characters (6 will be faster), 4 potions and a 2hander. and a lot of patience :)
you can do this at lvl 1 in theory, but you won't have the potions at that time.
the tactic is based on 2 common sense game mechanisms.
IsilionNELE 2 years ago
Well I do not know how you would do that. I would be glad to know however :) !
Ildraeth 2 years ago
well it is majot cheese, but it's completely legit.
when he's neutral, click on him as if you were going to talk to him, if he stands still it's easier. then surround him with 4 characters in such a way his movement is completely blocked. have them drink a potion of invisibility. equip your remaining chars with a big 2handed weapon and postion them so that there's an invisible character between you and drizzt. and then just whack away. even a lvl1 mage can melee him to death.

I think Skeletons don't stay more than two rounds alive with Drizzt. But I guess summoning monsters with a wand could work.

wow, a lot of Drizzt haters here. What's up with that? Luckily, this is only a game, where as Drizzt could never be killed in anything that counts.

Drizzt is a bit more realistic as a 16th level character in 3e. I never kill him in any of my playthroughs, though.
MaverickAlvis 2 years ago
My favorite character to torment in BG1, par none. Noober gets close, but still not quite. My personal favorite is to dual a fighter into a rogue, play until the cap, enjoy a few nice potions and render him into giblets with a single backstab.
Perhaps I should summon swarm him once. Seeing Drizzt eaten alive by gibberlings and xvarts... hmmm....
UnclePutte 2 years ago
Noober rewards you well when you are VERY patient with him ;) !
Ildraeth 2 years ago
hmm, my reply box was full.
the game mechanisms are
1) nobody can move through invisible creatures
2) big 2H weapons can attack from the second rank, so to speak.
drizzt only has scimitars and can't hit you, while you occasionally score a hit. (slow) victory is guaranteed :)
no cheeating or modding, no abuse of bad pathing, no high lvls or awesome gear is required, just 2 logic mechanisms
spread the word, but give credits :p
i've never seen anyone mention my tactic so not many know it, i think
IsilionNELE 2 years ago
I thought it was something like that. I wouldn't have thought to the invisible potion though.
I will surely not forget mentioning how great a tactician you are ;) !
By the way, I like your finding, athough I prefer hand to hand fighting :) !
Ildraeth 2 years ago
You could also use bows for even less risks...
Ildraeth 2 years ago
yes bow are safer but since drizzt has such an incredible AC it takes seeveral minutes to kill him (well i always have a lowish lvl when i do it) and that would take A LOT of arrows :p
and having to renew my stacks every time is tedious. with a 2H i can just go read a book for a few minutes.
btw a similar tactic can be used on the doomsayer, another hard enemy. secure a corner with 3 invisible chars to protect your mage, and just cast the doomsayer to death
:)
IsilionNELE 2 years ago
It seems you have found the ultimate tactic :) !
Ildraeth 2 years ago
invisibility is the ultimate cheese yes :)
but in BG1 your thief regularly fails his stealth check and nivisibility potions are scarce.
in BG2 you drown in invisibility potions, especially in ToB.
they rock against mindflayers and fire giants
i know it's lame, but but eating my brains is too :p
invisibility + turn undead rocks too
or invisibility and that cleric globe of blades HLA (forgot the name) is pretty nice as well :)
IsilionNELE 2 years ago
Like you say : ) !
If I remember well, he wears a Mithril Chainmal, which is a Chainmal +4, and two Scimitars, one of them being +3, and the other one being +5 (+3 to Hit & Damage rolls and +2 to AC).

Ildraeth 2 years ago
The effects invunerablity and shield, increase you resistance to Dritz's scemitars. Then Ghost armor, is wieghtless platemail. Great strength increases attack roles, especially for blunt weapons, like that mace. Mirror image to decrease accuracy, then a potion of something-or-another, that increases likely hood to dodge, or just gives a minus to attack roles. Did I miss anything?
DoberZeke 2 years ago
You forgot Protection against Evil, Great Invisibility, Blur, Haste. I did not use Ghost armor. I do not mention all items, but I think it's obvious he's wearing the best ones.
The trick against Drizzt is to have a low THACO, because he has around -15 AC. He is wearing a chainmail, so that's why the hero is wielding a blunt weapon.
There is another trick to get low THACO, actually a bug. The spell Great Invisibility gives +4 to hit rolls, which is notably why Drizzt got hit on each roll.
Ildraeth 2 years ago
Isn't Drizzt good? What good does protection against evil do? (serious question) Other than that, What is your class? Did you cast mirror image on yourself, or is there a potion for that?
DoberZeke 2 years ago
It's right, there's also a bug here. I don't even think it's working as intended in BG2. Fort the latter, there may be (unofficial) fixpacks though.
This charachter is dual-class, F/W (to get enough levels as a W for the Invisibility spell, if I remember well).
I cast Mirror-image, but as I said, it isn't needed because the character can only be hit on 17+ rolls.
Ildraeth 2 years ago
Potions are used to get better statistics.
Eventually, AC is -26 against slashing.
You well pointed that Drizzt wields a scimitar, which is slashing damage.
So you see that there is even no use to cast Mirror-image spell, given that it's THACO is -9.
Ildraeth 2 years ago
I'm guessing it's because Dritz uses two semitar, and you had both invunerablity and shield, which increase your resitance to swords. Not to mention ghost armor and strength, one to increase damage and the other is weightless platemail. Then the mirror image spell, which as anyone who had trouble fighting Tarnesh knows, can be deadly in the number of spells/attacks can be completed in that time. Also an enchantment or potion to increase the possibility of a dodge.
