We are in the final stages of a campaign that we started as level 1 characters. Now up to 14 and we are looking at multiple fights vs giants before the finale. I am playing a fighter1/wiz5/eldritch knight8. My main role has been a nuker but I am looking for more effective spell casting when we are up against multiple giants. My issue has been the saves when not doing direct damage. The intelligence of the character is 20 and we are house ruled not to be allowed permanent stat raising items. Any fort saves are pretty much automatic and even will saves are not that tough for the giants (currently mostly cloud/fire giants). My spell selection is limited to PHB. Anyone have recommendations about strategies/spells usage that may make things more effective? The other characters are a druid, dwarven defender, cleric8/fighter6, rogue, and a cleric.
