For a No-Reloads game, I would suggest forgetting about Mages for the first half of the game, and concentrating on a Fighter / Thief oriented party. You won't have to spend that much gold on Healing Potions because your band of Warriors will just steamroll their way through the early game with no problems at all (well, except for Tarnesh). Later on, once your average party EXP is around 40,000 EXP, go and recruit your mage-type person: If this is their first time joining your party, their EXP will automatically be bumped up to your level, meaning that you can get a Level 6 Wizard without having to go through all the trouble of dragging his/her lazy, pebble-slinging butt all over the Sword Coast.
