Call me purist... but i find that to be cheating.

On a side note... the F/M/C is not such a good choice for a Solo No Reloads game (IMO, of course) - i can't see one even getting through Improved Ilyich. For this type of game, the Sorcerer is probably the best choice - blast from a distance, perfectly safe, while your army of summons (web + spiders -> haste + skellies -> planetars + globe of blades) mops up everything. It's damn boring, though. I'm also thinking of trying a SNR game with the same setup (Insane + Tactics) - and i'm having a hard time picking between the Halfling F/T (easy early game, good saves, traps, fighter part, but no summons), the Gnomish T/M (summons, traps, good saves, magic, but no fighter part) and the Half Elven F/M/T (summons, traps, magic, fighter part, almost everything - but lousy saves, slow advancement and no 9th level spells).
