They are weak against magic. If one in your group has the resources to
get a weapon focus, get it. In fact, it will be helpful against anythin
like that. I ran the Universal Brotherhood module, with deals with it,
and what I noticed is that the physical adept, who spent all his resourc
toward the weapon focus did more than anyone else did. Just do the weap
focus, but be warned: They are VERY EXPENSIVE!
