It's possible to do HOF with a brand-new party, but extremely difficult. Many players who try this usually have spellcasters with summoning magic, and plenty of it. Everyone who can summon has as many spell ready as possible - and they run back to the ship to rest rather often

Generally though, you're better off trying out your experienced group first, so you know what you're up against. HOF critters are much tougher than they are in normal modes. They also give more experience.

There are no problems with using the cheat codes to advance low-level characters, except for multi-class. If you have any multis, advance them one level at a time. Because if you don't, the experience comes all in one gulp, and you can only advance one class. A friend of mine learned that the hard way (doing what you plan to do, use a pafrty of different mix).
