    Please tell me your comments, like it's too easy or hard or just somehow interesting.

    I've just met Melisan yesterday, to my suprise - she sucks, she uses missile atk (dart that causes disease, I think), also her minions are lame. Those scary looking bone fiends use normal weapon, the shadow slayers have horrible THAC0, Death Tyrant and Glabezues are too busy to cast some trivial spell like dispel, charm, death ray, flesh to stone,... ect. And an efreeti, what the hell is it doing here ? :grin:

    So my Inquisitor with the reflect shield, cloak of cheese, improve bard song just stand there dancing with the beasts. I remember my first meeting with her, she summoned 4 Demon Knights (or something that can lv drain), my party scattered and ran like chickens (although that time I played in core-rule mode :o )

    As oppose to Draconis, I find this is the most annoying dragon. He has a hobby of casting invisible and run like a dog to a corner, then heal or summone minions, he's immune to abjuration so I cannot dispel him, and although he's lv25, he's quite good at dispeling my buffs - includes protect from acid (Korgan is lv33 :mad: ).

    it seems impossible to meele it with an Inquisitor, Korgan and Sarevok (start with protect from acid). After 3 reloads, I gotta use Immy to time stop, IA, Lower resis, chain lightning, skull trap. Of course he fell like rags, but that ain't fun :(

    btw, I don't have any patch, fix, mod. Will try tactic soon :)

    If you want a more interesting final battle, try installing Ascension, and play it on Insane. Now THAT is a challenge!

    And if you think unmodded Draconis is difficult, try beating him with the Smarter Dragons component (I think it's in Tactics). You'll have to redefine "annoying" :D

    As an aside, it seems many people indeed find Draconis to be one of the toughest fights, especially the first time you go through the game.

    That I suppose is because the invisibility/heal/summon throws them off. No other dragon in the game does that! :D
