Any hints as to how to deal with these little critters?

They heal themselves and cast darkness which means I can't kill or even hit them.

I am a Pally/Fighter, playing with Dorna.

Have you tried turning them? Honestly I haven't ever made it to anywhere past the first Anauroch Desert map, so I have no idea about them.

If that doesn't work, try spells. My Sorcerer always use spells on em. But then I didn't have trouble beating them down in HotU, unless I'm forgetting something. If all else fails right click and examine them. You should see something that they have a weak spot for.

This is SOU  Grin

I have looked them up on the NWN Wiki, they don't like fire so your advice about magic would be useful, if I wasn;t a Pally travelling with Dorna.  Undecided

No cleric levels on Dorna?

Yup but only one Flamestrike AFIK, I have just got to grips with the revised interface for the henchman inventory control and I'll see what happens with that; as I plan to give her some clerical scrolls, and maybe use her archery with flame arrows or fireball if I can find them.

Any ideas as to how to resist the negative energy bursts?

I started this thread at Bioware and found another thread called 'too many devourers'.

Turn undead didn't work?

Stupid question, but you are using blunt weapons, right?  Skeletons in 3e are basically immune to slashing and piercing.

Stupid's answer - Noo! - I am now using desert fury, because of the fire damage!   Grin

And no, it seems they're exceedingly hard to turn - I might ask my mighty friend Leto to help, however, since its rumoured that they increase in number with level, I'd be interested to know what the 3e rules says they turn as?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems that since I am the last contributor to this thread I must modify my last post rather than add a new one.

I have with help from advisors here and at bioware finished the floor and now the game  Smiley

Two floor below, in Unrentide, there is a "Gem of Seeing", this helps see in the dark and the spells Bless and Divine Weapon both enhance "Desert Fury" which should be kept and used; they don't like fire. This means that Flamestrike using the Wand of the Heavens is usefull.

Have lots of potions of cure critical and heal. Boost your saving throw as high as you can, and be aware that they can negate spell protections.

On the first floor of the temple, there is some usefull armour and weapons for Dorna Trapspringer, but you may need to take some potions of Lore to identify them. I also used the advanced AI module and may have set her to cast spells before combat and I asked her to buff and heal the party freqently. Anyway, she died a lot less freqently, as did my PC.

These remain tough battles which came as a bit of a surprise after breezing throught the game with a 15th level character for most of it. 

Any way thanks for the help, and on to Hou, although I might wait for my druid to finish SoU or my barbarian to finish NWN.  Smiley

The number of skeletal devourers is rumoured to be level dependent, and from my experience I'd agree.

This thread was started while I was playing with an imported Paladin character from the OC. When playing with my generated F/T, the level was much easier; there were a lot less devourers. The generated character was about three? levels lower, if I remember correctly and travelled with Misha the Paladin. See above.
