Monk is not a bad class to solo with, the hardest i ever did was an archer. it was hard, but very fun because i had to totally change me tactics cos' of lack of both spellcasting AND melee focus. but it did get quite boring after a while with the run, shoot, run away etc.
ive always felt that a druid would be quite fun to do solo, that or maybe wizard slayer

Ìve shook of the dust and dirt from my BGII cds and I'm preparing to install it again [img]smile.gif[/img]

Prolly begin with a nice game of Kensai/Mage dualclass... (from my history this was the most fun solo ive did so far :D )

I am currently playing my very first solo game also. I've only played the game all the way through once, but I've played through Chapters 2-3 a few times with different classes and party set-ups.

I chose the Skald (Bard kit) and I've actually been surprised at how easy some of the fights I dreaded were. As mentioned before, you gain levels MUCH faster when you go solo, so your power level rises much quicker too. That means that you are probably 4-5 levels higher than you were before when you get to those tough fights.

I am also chronicling my solo adventure in this forum, but I'm waaaaaay behind right now. You'll see it when I have time to update it again.

One thing I have noticed is that traps are not nearly as serious a problem as I anticipated. I can use a Mirror Image or just take the damage (which usually isn't very high).

The multi-class that I feel would be most powerful is the fighter/mage. Great melee' skills combined with a full complement of spellcasting ability. That should let you handle any monster or encounter in the game.</font>

It is funny that I haven't even finished my run with my current party and I am already planning my next one. Is that bad? [img]smile.gif[/img]

I think I will take your advice and not solo. But I think I am going to go with a PC and 2 or 3 others. Keep it a small party. Right now I have a full party. I think I am just getting a little bored with my Barb. All he really does is rage, get hurt a lot, and obliterate things with his 2 handed sword.
