Altough my knowledge about BG II is pretty much big I have just realised that I don`t know what kind of damage Sunray actually does? One of the reasons why I`m asking this is that the certain Improved Boss Fire Giant in ToB casts Sunray. How do you protect from it?

You could use Spell Imunity: Alteration. It's extremely effective against undead. A level 20 cleric could do 3-18 + 20d6 damage agaisn't undead. Imagine casting this in a room infested with vampires. This would pretty much wipe them all out.

Sunray also has a instant-death possibility on Undead which seems to be different from other insta-kills (Vorpal hit, FoD,...) because it just uses ridicolously high amounts of damage (like Ctrl+Y).

That's true too. You can hit a lich for over 1000 damage using it...pretty scary [img]smile.gif[/img]

Aerie is actually a very destructive tool against liches. Have her do this:
Spell Immunity: Abjuration
Spell Immunity: Necromancy
Time Stop
Lower Resistance as many times as you can on the lich
Sunray

AFAIK, Liches are immuned to Lower Resistance.

As to what type of damage that Sunray does, I believe it is Magic Damage. Or perhaps it's that mysterious "unspecified" damage featured by the KILLSW01.

It's not fire damage? The effects of it look like fire or something.

Yes, I too thought it was magic damage.
