Rules
I'm guessing this will get me killed but I'll do it anyway because it sounds fun
It will get everything killed. The one time it works out for you will be totally sweet though.
AoE spells are just fun - Colour Spray, Grease, Web, etc - but will wreck your fighters unless you place them carefully (and the AI is pretty suicidal). Eventually, there are a lot of low-threat opponents, which means even the low-level ones stay useful the entire game.
Usually the most dangerous threat is anything that can throw bullshit magic back at you - so, monsters - and then worse, anything that can do that magic and has protections against your magic - mostly wizards. Most of those fancy monsters want you to stock up on a couple of status-healing items when you notice them for sale, just in case. Wizard fights become about comprehensively dispelling their protections and then them instantly exploding from Minsc slapping them with a greatsword.
Later, in BG2, things get pretty damn unfair (in both directions - a lot of near-impossible fights are totally negated because you scrounged up money in the starting city to buy an overpriced shield).
