Solo HoF spellcasters against bosses?

Tell me your tricks and exploits! I see @Wisterias has one with Time Stop, Shapechange, and Enchanted Weapon. What else is out there, especially for divine casters against the biggest bosses?

Note: I took a break at Lower Dorn’s and ended up losing my saves from my solo totemic Druid run. I’m currently running a near-max Cleric/Illusionist and thinking ahead to the toughest fights.

    Lucky 1-hit petrification of Yxunomei by the Flail of Mae. 😉

    Imho, in the original IWD, only Belhifet could be really problematic (other bosses can be beaten in the straightforward manner, just use summoning extensively) . Otherwise, some fights in TotL might be quite hard too. ⚔️

    I thought Aerial Servants only hit with +2. If they can hit B_______, that will simplify things considerably. I do really love the Cleric/Mage exploit/strategy of using Project Image to summon and buff Servants.

    Tested. Yes, Aerial Servants can damage B. by themselves, but the hard part is to keep them alive xD
