I soloed until the end of shadows of amn with a transmuter(cost me millions in spells and wands but was worth it!!!)Of course I could NOT do it it insane I only did it in normal but HEY! thats not that bad is it!?

;) But can he go all the way? ;)

Well Lucifer gives me hope (how often does anyone say that), and I decided to go all the way and start from the original BG, with no mods and on normal level....progress so far...finished half of friendly arm quests...will update once a week or so as to avoid totally boring everyone to tears (completely).

Unless Lucifer finishes TOB with his transmuter, in which case there won't be much to prove and the exercise would be fruitless.

well now I just killed Ilaserra (wow!!!)and I have beaten gromnir. At the level I'm at now defenses are useless because i can cast contingencies and timestop (anyone want a 3xhorrid wilting???)and I can get up to 5 firebreaths out in 5 secs so I don't think I'll have too much trouble from now on(but the end boss will be just a bit hard...)

I like the transmuter idea... very original. But i still think it would be harder to solo as a jester. Just a thought. Has anyone ever done it? personally I like to powergame. You know, 2 carsomyrs and 3 mages casting 4 9th level spells each. More fun that way.

The Jester was the first Bard to successfully solo SoA-ToB completely, if my memory serves me right. Some guy did it from the BlackIsle Boards. His primary tactic was to go invisible and sing... causing his enemies to beat the brains out of each other.

HAHA, i did not know that. Thats very amazing that someone was able to do it.

If you want a challenge why not play with a party of 6 wild mages lol, think of all the fun you will have, 6 times the wild surges [img]smile.gif[/img]

I did it.
I FINALLY did It.
I killed Mellissan WITH the ascension with my solo Transmuter!!!
It took me 1----number extends endlessly----2 reloads but I did it.
Praise the makers od AD&D for the wish spell!
