Hi,
My party is almost level 8 on average, and consists of Jaheira, Kivan, Viconia, Jet'Laya, Imoen and me (cleric/mage).
Hit points vary between 60 and 80.
I just started the DSotSC part in BG1, and met an interesting group of enemies: 2 Orc Priests, 2 Orc Mages, 4 Orc Archers, 4 Orcs (Warriors), and 1 Ogre Mage...
Don't get me wrong: I like challenges, really. But with lvl 4 spells there is only so much you can do against Orc Priests spamming Bless, Chant, Defensive Harmony, Monster Summoning 3, and Aerial Servants, while the Orc Mages spam Immunity to Magic Weapons, Flesh to Stone, Chaos, Hold Person etc.
Actually, one summoned Aerial Servant alone is enough to kill the whole party - they are permanently invisible, hasted, and deal 30+ damage per hit. I can't even outrun it till it's time runs out - because after 15 minutes it was still there. And imagine my joy when I tried to kill that pesky priest meanwhile with the rest of my party, and that smug b*stard just summoned a second servant. His mage buddy was faster though in flesh to stoning my main char... game over.
I did not install any "**** me up hard, I'm a masochist and like it" mods that I knew of, but I did install this mod because I thought it rather balanced. Are Aerial Servants really supposed to be summoned by mere Orc Priests in BG1? Or did something mess up the spell lists of mages and priests? They are lvl 6 spells after all, so actually they shouldn't show up in BG1 at all.
Is it still possible after having installed the game to modify creatures without causing havoc in the game?
I'll have to do a lot of editing I think, because in the next part of Wood of Sharp Teeth I ran into 8 Skeleton Lords all doing a synchronized casting of lightning, instantly killing my whole party while I was still busy trying to cast Resist Fear...
