E-

I have been able to take my solo Gadgeteer places b/c of multi-classing. Starting as a Bard allowed sleep to lull the opponents, w/a decent sword. Switch to Rogue for some stealth, so that opponents don't always strike. Switch to Alchemist b/c pickmeups are going to be my friend.

You might want to try starting the bishop as a rogue and build up stealth as much as possible before switching her. It sounds to me like the biggest reason for early faerie ninja survival is very low AC (stealth + faerieness).

Also, level up carefully. You can look at your character as gaining XP 6x as fast or gaining learned skill points 6x as slowly (well, it's not that bad, but it's bad). The monsters increase in difficulty very fast.

Incidentally, I've been playing the gadgeteer at novice difficulty. Regular is possible, but I have to reload too much for it to be fun.
