    I am currently playing an all-elf party - a Ranger, Cleric, Fighter/Thief, and an Enchantress.

    As you might know, the opposite school of Enchantment is Evocation. Yes - this means that I have to give up Fireballs, Ice Storms, Magic Missles, and just about everything I've used to blow throught the hordes of enemies in Icewind Dale.

    It's hasn't been too hard so far (I've managed to cut through the Cold Wights without a mass damage spell), but I imagine it won't be easy later on. So has anyone played an Enchanter/ess before? If so, are there anyone good ways to compensate for the lack of spells that deal mass damage?

    Thanks for all your help.

    Let your cleric deal with the Undead, especially if you have HoW.

    Wands and scoll's if you can get your hands on them.
    Another way, use the spell's available to you to enhance your party and add powerful monsters from a fight inot yours. Not much use trying to charm undead mind you, perhaps some summonings?
    And I think a druid would be in keeping with the elven theme if you decide to go eith the earlier suggestion :)
