Soloing?

[Fiend]

Has anyone soloed how, with hof starting from lvl 1 and on insane difficulty? i started last night and im a lvl 7/7 half-elf ranger/cleric and i havent reached Kuldahar? yet. So far the hardest fight ive had was against 6 orcs, 2 orc elite and 4 ogres. buuutt, raise dead and 2 mentally dominated ogres gave me enough firepower to win that fight.

Add] i thinks its 7/7, cant remember correctly, anywayz 150000xp in each class

I am starting a solo game right now. I am going to give TotLM a try with it I am thinking it will be quit difficult even on normal.

I am planning on using a Fighter/Mage/Theif.

It doesn't seem possible to create a cleric/theif combination. Do you really think a theif is necessacary? I am thinking of trying a cleric combination instead. I will lose out on Backstab but I will still have detect traps, and knock, and I will not have to carry around tons of healing potions. Advice on Theif vs. Cleric for solo? Which is better?

I have decided to go with the Fighter/Mage/Cleric instead. Should be interesting in having dealing with traps and locks. When I get knock it should take care of the lock problem.

There's a pseudo version of 3^rdEd rules for IWD by Grog here. Haven't tried 'em yet, so I can't give feedback about it. Should be good though, as this is the home of the 'Winter's Bane' mod.

Edit: If you've used them, let us know guys! [/QUOTE]I used this, and it works, but it creates problems if the exp cap isn't removed, and an ultra high level rules pack isn't installed. It's hard to level up, when there is no where to go. That is the only thing that Grog has done that I had to remove. IWD just isn't ready for all the levels you get with 3ed rules.
