So I'm soloing my elf f/m through the Mae'var quest, and I get to the part where you have to fight the cowled wizard. I easily dispatched the mephits, and took out the golems with the troll from cloak of the sewers. But I'm having problem taking the wizard himself. So I come across this strategy. He'd start casting a spell, and I'd take the stairs down so he couldn't target me. But he followed me. And this is where it gets funny. I went down to the first floor, and instead of just 1, there are 2 wizards!!!! I figure, even though he's pretty early, maybe he's got simulacrum, and run away till it expires. I go up and there are three! I do this twice more (5) until I get stunned. They start casting their protective spells, then they ALL cast sunfire, killing each other but leaving me alive. Here's the kicker. Every single one of them had a Staff +2 and a Bracers of AC7 plus the gold! I made 10000 gp off them!
I don't know if there's a fix for this, but I have the most recent patch with TOB installed.
Weird, weird, weird...... :)

Yeah, its a big bug. But it's not always a good thing. I was looting the tombs in the graveyard at a low level, was getting wailed on in close corners, so I went outside to do battle, killed them, but when I went back, they were there again. This also happened when fighting a lich, and I ended up having to fight 2, and got severely beaten. The latest Official Patch should fix that.

Too bad you didn't get a chance to cast cloudkill and get XP for all of em too.

This could be incredibly hard, but think of some of the advantages to exploiting this bug. I wouldn't do this in a legit game I cared about, but....
Kangaxx - Rings of Gaxx for all!
Firkraag - Some nice armor, and if you're a pally you and Keldorn turn into a deadly tag team.
Black Dragon @ Suldanesselar - Whoever said that parties made up of mage/thieves and such were weak when it comes to armor.

As far as I know, though, only Firkraag would really work.

Firkraag's trapped! He can't get out of the place in dragon form.

True--the "duplicate enemy" thing doesn't work with large creatures such as Dragons, because they're too big to leave their room/house/map area. But yes, you CAN get multiple Rings of Gaxx (one gamer even found out about this by accident--and she was soloing, too), and the Lich in the City Gates map will drop multiple Rings of Invisibility, Wands of Fire & Cloudkill---good stuff.
