The most obvious choice for a single class solo no-reloads game would be the Sorcerer... but that would be too boring, as you would either cheese your way through with Clones and hordes of Summons - or die. The Monk might be an interesting game... but the Smarter Mages' habit of casting Pro-Magical-Weapons every four rounds would make it either a veeery time consuming task, or just plain impossible.

Alson, BG1 is not a patch on BG2, but it's still very good, and will keep you busy for ages.
It's not that I don't want to play BG1! Far from it! The problem is that BG1 is *extremely* rare here, and I'm not interested in a pirate-copy. On-line purchasing might be an option... I'll look into it once I'm over with BG2.

Another problem is that BG2 has a replay-power coming out the wazoo with all the mods and whatnot - the possibilities are virtually endless.

I've just rolled a very good cleric/mage that I'm planning on taking right through BG1, ToTSC, SoA and ToB (with mods). Should be very powerful indeed by the end. I've worked out that he will have a natural WIS of 24 by the end of the game!
Oh, right, Cleric/Mage - no Hrothgar. With it, you could obtain 25, if I'm doing the calculations correctly.

Have you tried the Icewind Dale series?
No, but I'm certainly intending to after I'm done with BG2. IWD, and from what I've heard, IWD2 both sound lovely games. I've also heard good things about Torment (although it's a whole different game, excuse the pun).

Back on topic... I'm interested in hearing your opinion, and other people's opinion in general. If you are to design a party (4-6 members) for a no-reloads game... how would you do it?
