What is Hand of Doom? A spell, an item? What does it do?

[Shaitan]

Sorry for my poor memory - I just checked: It's Hand of Undoing, maybe you know that spell It's a necromancy spell

Yes, it's the new 7th level spell added by IA.

[Shaitan]

Perhaps it really should have been deleted at startup, I don't know how frequent it is?

Does he already have it in his spellbook? The spell is the replacement for Project Image spell. If he already has this spell in his spellbook, it means that he knows Project Image if IA is not installed.

Yes, you should certainly erase it; because scrolls of the spell are damn rare in the game and you should work hard to find one.

It's good that you asked about it.

[Shaitan]

He probably had PI from start.

[Sikret]

Yes, that's what I meant.

[Shaitan]

Hi! I'm in Brynnlaw atm, and having a hard time with Vadek. I can get him to badly injured and the he throws a comet or dragon breath... hints please.

[Sikret]

The obvious hint would be "Protection from Fire" (either spells or potions or the green scrolls).

[Shaitan]

I'll have to try a rest with Jaheira - thanks.

Hi again!

My party now (I'm in level 3 in Spellhold):
PC vagrant L13
Jaheira: F11/D12
Keldorn:L13
Thief dualed to Cleric, C L14
Xan (mage):L14
Imoen:L13

I'm at the room with the Kurtulmak Crystal, and when I've slain all imps/kobold commandos a true meatcombo gets summoned: Beside the 4 guardian spirits and the kobold witchdoctor I also have the pleasent visit from 4 amber golems. In 5 reloads my best succes was one killed guardian spirit and a near dead Amber Golem. I buff with Imp haste, stone/iron skin, spiritual armour and prot from electricity (from my priest/jaheira). Should I postpone this onslaught?

Regards

How would you postpone the battle given you need to pass it to progress in the asylum?

I suggest working out which weapon type is best against Amber Golems. If there are too many golems attacking you at once try to get them to focus on Imoen/Xan with Mirror Image, Stoneskin and lightning protection. With lots of images/skins most golem types can be held at bay for a considerable amount of time (long enough to finish off the other enemies).

[Shaitan]

I hadn't cleared ie Dace yet, but he doesn't that great amount of xp I'll look at the weapontypes yet again.

The xp may be helpful, because in addition to Dace you will have more other foes to kill there.

[Shaitan]

I tried turning myself towards the undead and whack I was chopped to death even faster than against the Golems. As you might know my party have such melee capacities as my PC vagrant, Jaheira, Keldorn and my T->C. Still in a few rounds my chars get smacked to pieces.

My chars use mainly blunt weapons except for Kedorn. I buffed all that I could and tried Malison+hold undead (never succeds)+others undead damaging level 5/6 priest spells. I even summoned elementals/spiders.

I'm standing in a small corridor so I should have some advantage there also.

What am I doing wrong? I even wonder: If I can't beat four Skeleton lords what can I then expect later on (or even with the golems)? I could manage to get one to near dead state, but at that point I had no party anymore (besides my to mages). I wonder even if IA is a mod I should use. Help

@Shaitan

I'll send some hints to you very soon. Since the hints I am going to send are too spoilerish to be sent in public (as they can ruin the fun of this battle for those players who want to find the winning tactics by themselves), I'll send them to you in a PM.

[Shaitan]

Thanks! I guess I need some succes Just when you have time as I don't have anymore time to play the next 1½ day.

I'm now composing the PM. I'll send it in less than an hour.

EDIT: Just sent it.
