I saw in one video that the falling damage strat also works well using earth elementals, they’re heavy and can warp themselves (or someone can use telekinesis to move them) to a high position, personally I think using owlbears is cooler though, my good playthrough was with a druid but having an all druid party is something I thought about at the time, would have been cool to use the various animal shapes depending on the fight, apparently the dino shape got stronger after a patch, not having a cleric in a party is a bit of a pain though

I tried a ‘darkness immune party’ thing in my evil playthrough but it was tricky to utilize all the time and didn’t have a warlock in the party, it was a very upfront melee heavy group, main character was a lolth cleric/ranger for the spider companion rp flavor
