I don't see any problem forging an enhanced version.
Do you have a save from brynnlaw? If there's a bug we may investigate.

I had an earlier save from before brynnlaw so I went back and worked my way to Galvena. There it was - I guess I just didn't see or pick up all of her loot. Figures I would have missed something I was looking forward to the entire run. That would have been nice to wear a few chapters ago. Oh well, now I know. Thx.
Personally, I'd love to do something. But it's an immense amount of work. Once it's stable, I'll play around with EET and see what's what.

That's good to hear
Some questions again to my current TOB game (Necro, B9M, R/C, Valygar, Jaheira, Mazzy):
- I'm stuck at Dracolich. Decided to fight him before getting HLAs. Its not that hard to endure his 4xPfMW, but my damage output is too low and it's taking a long time to bring him down (best try was "Badly injured" so far). It's hard to keep protection up for that long time. Any good advice?
- There are some "exquisite" items like robes and rods. Are they just good money or is there any need of them later on?

I am ashamed to admit that it's been so long since my last playthrough that I am hardly capable to give a coherent advice. I don't remember if HLAs ever played a huge role in my games in that battle. Could you try to outlast him and then perhaps activate the combat buffs on your B9->M to finish him off?Hopefully, more skilled players could suggest something better
QUOTE

IIRC they are for sale only. But check the list of crafting ingredients in the readme just to be sure they are not used for something like Memory of Apprentice.
Dracolish fight was never really easy, he's pretty hard to hit without CS, which you don't have. Jaheira and Mazzy are your key to victory, with R/C as great support.
First thing: use skeleton warriors(from Necro if you have this spell and from R/C). They're immune to all Dracolich's abilities, so they can survive pretty long. Other summons can be helpful too! Prepare some zones of sweet air and try not to have 2 summons close to each other(fog spell of dracolich automatically destroys them). During these 16 rounds it's really okay to run away, so use anacondas wisely - they're the fastest summons you can get + they're quite tough with their resistances and HP.
You want to trigger PFMW, not damage the enemy at the beginning, so don't activate your abilities that are one-time-use. After final PFMW is down be prepared with giant strength and bless on every fighter(that includes clan summon from Jaheira too, with GS he becomes killing machine with great tanking ability and nice thaco, you can IH him too! My tests prove that his final form with all buffs can solo elemental golem, and that speaks for itself), rage ability on Jaheira and invoke courage on Mazzy. If you have short sword of backstabbing and ***** in short swords on Mazzy, then she should be able to deal most of the damage probably(not sure if the dragon has some more resistance to piercing, but I hope not). Limited wish with PFLD is your friend too. Attack him from all sides, that way you can protect some characters/summons from wing buffet. Don't forget that SI:Nec can protect mages from wail attack,(That was necromancy, right? ) so your R/C can focus on renewing death ward on other characters, also limited wish - refresh spells allows you to use DW multiple times.

Thanks for the help!
Valygar had Phosphorus -> Strength 24
Mazzy was using Strength of Arvoreen -> Strength 20. Ok, here i could use GS -> 22
Jaheira + R/C under Rightous Magic and DUHM -> Strength 24
Ok, will try to use Bless.
I think it's more vulnerable to blunt weapons. But i use the short sword of backstabbing with ***** for her anyway.
Yeah, i guess i need to be more careful. It also regenerates and reforming my party after all got wing buffet, takes precious time.
Potions of Magic Shielding need also be treated with care. It's Remove Magic can be deadly...
Using Wondrous Recall for that.
Note to myself: Forge more +2 protections (rings, cloaks) before going to Spellhold. Also, a 2nd pair of Boots of Speed would help significantly.
A more general question:
How do u guys keep track of rounds? I mean especially in this fight there is a lot going on and i usually loose track when my protection spells run out...
Let's see how my next try will go...
QUOTE

Death fog was not really a danger so far. Dracolich usually cast it on a character after Wing Buffet. So it went off somewhere far away. The first two Death Spells are more of an challenge.QUOTE

Yes, that correct. But it needs to be treated with care. My B9M under SI:Necro and GOI got once in the line of sight of the dragon. Not a good idea. Two more or less instant RRoRs, Greater Doom + Wail and my main char (Necro) standing somewhere hiding in a corner was no more (couldn't renew his SI:Necro fast enough)....Potions of Magic Shielding need also be treated with care. It's Remove Magic can be deadly...

Autopause end of round + keeping in mind that for an improved hasted character it's two autopauses per round if memory serves. The rest is some mental math or taking notes if you're up for it.

For dracolich, my 2 cents, most of it already told by others
This from a player who once had terrible time with dracolich, now waits greedily for this fight (seldom lost)
SPOILER!
Before: memorize ZoSA, DW, NPP, restoration, greater restoration as much as you can
Fill mages with summons
1°) protect from wail:
Si:Nec on mages, DW on other chars, all the more when greater doom lands (usually, use 2 chars taking turns, when one dispelled or DW no more, runs back to cleric/druid, important to be hasted, potions do the job)
2°) protect from drain
1 scroll of PFLD, 2 if you want for chars taking turn amusing dracolich, here valygar and mazzy, I would just use one on valygar, mazzy can be restored
3°) Don't miss first rounds, dracolich will fire one remove magic and 2 death spells, be prepared to lose dispellable buffs and summons
4°) Summons, summons, summons
minor summon first, they will be killed by DF, then skeletons, keep mordy, salamanders (MS V) for late fight, they are really tremendous against dracolich, keep Jaheira guardian for end fight
5°) don't expose mages, cleric and druid, only end fight (dracolich seriously wounded) can you bring Jaheira and R/C around, taking silence into account!
6°) switch phophorous from valy to mazzy according to who keeps Dracolich occupied and triggers PFMW (and takes stoneskins down), in the end buff Guardian and mazzy with Giant strength from Jaheira

Dracolich is one of my least favorite fights. Actually, no, it is my least favorite fight. I'm just glad he doesn't have CC:3xADHW. A few additional thoughts
SPOILER!
SPOILER!
It may be a bit antithetical, but a greater doomed Valygar with str 24 can still have a horrible THAC0 and be worthless. So it may be better to let Valygar die in that scenario from a wail, raise and heal him in a corner by your cowering PC. Not every character has to have an outstanding armor class. The same can be said with your B/M. In the scenario you described with your B/M, he could have a) taken up some time having Dracolich cast RRR, 
taken a greater doom, c) possibly taken the CC:3xFoD, d) taken a silence, and d) triggered a wail. That's a lot of firepower off the table that be recouped for a raise dead (spell or scroll) and heal spell. I don't let characters die intentionally like that, but I've not been sad about some fighters dieing in some fights.
You should have plenty of SI:N memorized and I typically don't cast something with a mage every round in this fight, so just don't wait for it to drop off before recasting it.
You're missing an important 4th level buffing spell from Jaheira that just makes her ridiculous in addition to DUHM/Righteous Magic. Casting order of the buffs is important as you probably know. Note that at level 20 or 24 she can have 10 APR with great THAC0 under improved haste with her gloves, self buff, and dual wielding scimitars.
Hopefully you bought a few restoration scrolls from temples (quite useful vs Thaxy and the screaming statue as well) - fighters can use these, so they can be a life saver. I typically buy 3-4 (2k gold investment) and thats enough for the game. PFLD will work as well.
Try to eat the greater silence(s) with less important casters early on (say the BM, even your mage, or Jaheira) so that you can access all of your spells when the fight is the hardest.
Keep your fighters spread out so that breath spells only hit one or two characters. This requires some positioning micromanagement but is a very valuable technique.
I'm terrible at round counting my own buffs but sometimes track enemies PFMW/AI based on how many spells they have cast.

I dont like to use Restoration because of the fatigue afterwards and i can protect with NPP.
Valygar is wearing the Amulet of Power. Mazzy under DW at the beginning and then use scroll of PfLD a bit later on her.
Dont have MS V. Only one Anaconda but 8 or 9 Skeleton Warriors (+2 from Contingencies) + 3 or 4 Mordys and some minor summons.
Yes i know about Holy Power. Usual buffing sequence is Holy Power -> Rightous Magic -> DUHM. Discarded that spell in favor of 1 more DW, but will adept the spellbook again.
I experienced only 1 Greater Silence so far. R/C is taking that one right at the beginning.
Dont like switching equipment but will do eventually. Unfortunately Mazzy is not allowed to wear the Amulet of Power

Just wondering if the Robe of Vecna has a possible new location? I'm almost done with SoA and haven't found it on any of the dead bodies I usually have found it on. I think Samia's mage, the mage just before the Illithid correspondence in the sewers, the tiefling mage in WK and Layenne of TR are all spots I think I've found it before. All I have left is the Black Dragon, Vagrant quests, Orcus and Githyanki encampment and below of WK.

Yes, you can, it is even advisable. Nothing should be screwed, Mazzy's shield will be safer to use (i.e., it won't loose some of its effects if an enemy dispel hits her) and Racial Combat apparently have had a couple of bugs that caused protectors to have some incorrect bonuses when certain preparations are active (copy-paste be damned).

Well, I don't think you'll profit from the extra wisdom but you will get some extra spell slots from having 19 INT (although it's not like Necromancer have any shortage of those...).
You can, however, use that potion on someone else (Nalia or Jan, for instance).

With a necro protag I never used it (dumped brain).
More questions Thx for your patience with my noobishness.
Thx for your patience with my noobishness.- Is there a possiblity in game (without cheating) to increase a druid's (Jaheira's =10) INT by 2? Imho the Sunlight helmet out of Sikret's The Four mod fits better to the Avenger class than Circlet of Golden Flowers. Only the Machine of Lum the Mad comes to my mind for a +1 to INT. Unfortunately Potion of Superior Mentality is only for Mages and Cleric/Mages.

Armor Class: +4 Bonus
THAC0: +4 Bonus
-20% Penalty to Fire and Lightning resistance

Circlet of Golden Flowers:

One additional 6th level and one additional 7th level spell per day

None that I am aware of. You can just lower the int requirement for that helmet manually if you wish to, it won't make any difference, honestly. You can do that with Near Infinity easy enough. Download and run the software, point it to the chitin.key for your installation, then search for the helmet using a respective function, load up the found item, update its INT requirement field and save back to the override. Once you have saved it, you can also export it into whatever folder the mod itself uses to store it in, so that the change isn't lost in case you do a [re-]uninstall.I can't even come up with a good idea why does it have that requirement, maybe tailored for Cernd? I don't remember his stats from memory but fine-tuning attribute requirements is one of the hacks from good-old ToB days to restrict items for specific chars. EE has a new special effect opcode for that.

No, expanded content (which is custom-added by IA) is not affected by the EoU tweak. It only applies to the vanilla portions of strongholds that were shipped with the game itself.QUOTE

Energy drain from BBoD from a mage under GS/tenser, with my Necro I had barely enough BBoD IIRC last ime I di it, years ago RL speaking

You're all done with Marvella? I think after a bit of resting another character will appear and advise to you. I kinda forgot how it goes, to be honest, hopefully somebody else comes by shortly and give you an answer
REst in sphere some 3-4 days after end of marvella quest (Pasha freed) while wearing MoA, and be prepared to fight! (if you win there first try you deserve a statue!
)
IMO circlet of golden flowers is very strong on avenger. instant cast stone skin, faster healing touch, etc.
I think the lich in The Four has some of the resistances from a ring as well as innate resistance. Easy fix may be to decrease his resistances locally using EE keeper or equivalent. There are some other improvements to that mod I can suggest if Critto is maintaining it.

I am not, really, but I don't see any problems porting those fights into IA itself.
Could somebody send the mod package to me?

Is there a possiblity in game (without cheating) to increase a druid's (Jaheira's =10) INT by 2?None that I am aware of. You can just lower the int requirement for that helmet manually if you wish to, it won't make any difference, honestly. You can do that with Near Infinity easy enough. Download and run the software, point it to the chitin.key for your installation, then search for the helmet using a respective function, load up the found item, update its INT requirement field and save back to the override. Once you have saved it, you can also export it into whatever folder the mod itself uses to store it in, so that the change isn't lost in case you do a [re-]uninstall.
I can't even come up with a good idea why does it have that requirement, maybe tailored for Cernd? I don't remember his stats from memory but fine-tuning attribute requirements is one of the hacks from good-old ToB days to restrict items for specific chars. EE has a new special effect opcode for that.
Yes, i guess its tailored for Cernd. Guardian holding/guarding the Sunlight helmet only showing up provided that either the protagonist is a druid or you have Cernd in party. Used the console to trigger this encounter

True, instant Stoneskin saved Jaheirs's life often. Most probably i will stick to the Circlet. Forgot where i sold the helmet....

I was playing around a bit with casting spells under IA. Dunnot understand:
Hand of Undoing says casting time of 7 but Necro with -4 casting speed (RoA -2, Hades -1, Foreknowledge) can cast 6 per IA, so description of HoU should be 6 -> (6-4)*6 =12
Same for Disrupt Undead.
GoI says 6, but Necro can cast 9 per IA (x-4)*9=12 -> x= 5+ 1/3 ???
(e)
Spell Turning same as HoU
Bigby's Clenched Fist, says castime time 6, but i can cast 8 or more (dont have enough lvl 8 spell slots) per IA
Bigby's Crushing Hand says 7, but it's 6.
(e) without Foreknowledge:
DU (6-3)*4 = 12
GOI (x-3)*6 = 12 -> x = 5
BCF (x-3)*6 = 12 -> x = 5
Interesting. Are these tests from EE? Have you timed it using AutoPause: Spell Cast function?
BTW, have you read this http://forums.blackwyrmlair.net/index.php?...ost&id=4044 ?

All numbers are from TOB using AutoPause: Spell Cast. I counted only the finished spells.
Thanks for the link. Didnt know about these details. So the math should be done like this:
Case 1: spell casting time -4
DU: (7-4)*6/10 = 1+4/5 seconds per spell -> 12 / (1+4/5) = 6+2/3 spells per IA -> round = 7 / int = 6 vs 6 in my game
GoI: (6-4)*6/10 = 1+1/5 seconds per spell -> 12 / (1+1/5) = 10 spells per IA vs 9 in my game
Case 2: spell casting time -3
DU: (7-3)*6/10 = 2+2/5 seconds per spell -> 12 / (2+2/5) = 5 spells per IA vs 4 in my game
GoI: (6-3)*6/10 = 1+4/5 seconds per spell -> 12 / (1+4/5) = 6+2/3 spells per IA -> round = 7 / int = 6 vs 6 in my game
Hmmm...

The math looks OK to me, if you round off to lesser value and not mathematically (i.e., 6 + 2/3 rounds off to 6, not 7, roughly speaking). It's crude but calculations agree with what is observed in the game.

Ah ok. Didnt notice because i was waiting for the night to enter the graveyard.
Mazzy, lvl 26, as a Champion of Arvoreen is part of my group.
When sticking to her upgraded shield, she wont get more than 3 APR with shortswords / 2.5 with other weapons (x2 with IH). I'm thinking of investing a couple of HLAs in GWW. Is it worth it? More APR, more shield bashes. She has 3xHardiness + 3xCS so far.
