Endarire Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Greetings, all! I heard about about people who used thieving traps to kill Elminster soon after the game started - at character level 1. That was vanilla. Is this still true in EE 2.5 with SCS - including Smarter Mages & Priests? Thankee! Quote Link to comment

OrlonKronsteen Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Yes, you can - with a little luck. Trap damage is random, of course, so it's possible he survives the encounter. But if you aren't adverse to a little fromage, and the risk of being turned into a chicken is acceptable, it may be worth the attempt. Quote Link to comment
Endarire Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) How reversible is this "baleful polymorph" chicken effect? Are traps still the best low-level option? Edited September 19, 2021 by Endarire Quote Link to comment
OrlonKronsteen Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I have no idea about reversing the chicken effect, nor that it was classified as a 'baleful polymorph' effect (my lack of technical knowledge gives me the distinction of being the least helpful person on this forum). I can't think of any other way to take him down at first level than traps - but there may be more inventive players out there. IIRC, there were reports of a cheesy way of getting him to follow you and getting him stuck along a fence or some such, but I never tried it. I have tried taking him on fairly with a full, powerful party and he mopped the floor with us. Quote Link to comment
DavidW Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 SCS doesn't touch him, incidentally - at least, not intentionally. Quote Link to comment
