ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I noticed that in the latest version every single square in 3rd. lvl of Slaver Compound is marked "cant teleport to this place".
This makes mage characters nearly impossible to kill the boss.

Well, I know that maybe I can make it with a movement infusion, but what if mine character is an undead? His level is only 25 but I think only a lvl 40 or more mage character can slay it easily. This boss is not a random one and should be possible to kill at a suitable level. It should be challenging but not impossible. This is unfair.

Shields, knockback spells, pinning and slowing effects... I've never had trouble killing him with any character and I've never used phasing in that battle.

Besides which, not all battles exist to be won by all. Melee types struggle immensely against many other bosses.

Well, you are right. his save is not that high. It seems that I should change my tactic and try something new. Thank you.

also note that you DONT need to talk to him in order to initiate combat, just start blowing him up if you're gonna kill him!
