Planescape: Torment Hints

Combat

  • When you are fighting strong creatures who fight instead of cast spells, the best strategy is to focus on one at a time with all your fighters. If there is more than one opponent, have your mages stand back and cast spells like Cloudkill or Abysmal Fury. If there is only one, hit it with spells like Force Missiles or Power Word, Kill. Also when fighting powerful creatures (like the end boss) or large groups, you should try to cast Balance-In-All-Things or spells like it on as many people as possible.

    Now when fighting magic-casting creatures, you should rush them with all fighters and have your mages as close as you can get without being within fighting range. When the creature starts to cast a spell you should have one of your mages cast a quick spell like Magic Arrow, Tongues of Flame, or Reign of Anger. The spell will flash out and interrupt his casting process, and he won't complete the spell.
