My Three Monks Party of Level 37

I tested today all 3 types of monks in BP1+BP2 up to level 37 (before the final fight in BP2) on normal difficulty. It's quite tedious in the beginning but becomes funnier starting from level 7-8.

At level 37, monks are really great melee fighters with AC=-13, THAC0=-7, 100% poison immunity and 78% magic immunity. 👊

    The main problem in the BP2 arena is that some funny spellcaster enemies drink invisibility potions an remain inactive and invisible forever. 😹 Is there any option to Detect Invisibility for monks?

    Yeah, right, my Dark Moon monk has 100+ points in Detect Illusions. However, it doesn't detect inactive invisible spellcasters in BP2 arena. 🤔

    In particular, in the final battle, my monks killed everybody except for Thassk Kun, who hided like that. 😼

    could you hurt him with an aoe spell from item and entice him back into battle?

    Thassk Kun is immune to my explosive aoe item spells. Before in the fight III-5, I killed like that an invisible Thrall Mage, but it didn't entice her into battle. 😼

    Can you time out the invisibility? There's a console command to advance time in one hour increments. It's ctrl-T I think. Invisibility should only last 24 hours.

    Great idea 👍 but I can't do it on Nintendo Switch. Anyway, I don't wanna replay that difficult final fight. Let's say that Thassk Kun escaped from prisoners' vengeance. 😸

    It is still strange.
    I thought the invisibility spell should be negated with find traps. Only hide in shadow+no detection should make a character safe from find traps, right?

    Oh, I understand now, it's probably my "blunder" since I put an Improved AI with, by default, Hide in Shadows instead of Find Traps. I forgot about it during BP2 arena fights having no traps anyway. So, my monks just don't try to detect anything in those fights. 😹

    N.B. However, only Dark Moon Monk has Detect Illusions. Not sure that other monks could detect invisible creatures. 🤔

    P.S. I have searched info in forums and, while active Detect Illusions = 75+ should detect invisible creatures, in practice it doesn't work for many players.
