I wonder if regeneration rings help protect agaist BoT.
I also wonder if Vengeance of the Dead counts BoT victims against the caster? If it does, that would make for a very unpleasant nightmare for the caster, and a good way to take out any caster of a killing spell.
So far, I have had good luck finding AI GE casters in their national capital. It was so satisfying seeing my succubus (barely) kill that Arch Theurg Prophet who had cast Wrath of God!
Oh, another possibility is to summon a caster. There are some spells which give you spellcasters, which depending on your other magical abilities, could turn out to be a shortcut to a dispeller.
Another minor counter-tactic is casting a spell that prepares for death. BoT could save you some maintenance gold.
