I've played this game through a couple of times. Once with a Half-elven Archer and once with a Sorcerer both in parties of various sizes. By half way through in most battles I was sending Minsc tanking in while the rest of my group played tiddly-winks, occasionally throwing the odd spell or arrow in that direction. Infact he pretty much did the final battle on his own.
Now I want to try something a bit different, and was thinking hmmm ... monk. I was thinking about attemptin a solo game. So I guess what I'm asking is if it is particuarly difficult to solo a monk. I'm wondering if I'll be able to get out of the first dungeon on my own, because monks are quite weak at low levels, and Mephits have an AC of 0 (and they really annoy me). Or would I enjoy it more (ie not having to reload every 5 secs) in a small party - minus Minsc this time. Any opinions welcome. |

monks are hard at low levels but awsome at high levels.
you might want to take along one friend during the first dungeon then dump him when you get topside ------------------ *Lord of the Screen Shot* |

Also monk has stealth ability, which should allow you to creep past any horrid mephits early on in the game...

I don't think a monk will be any trouble going throught the dungeon alone. Try the Jester for a challenge. It took me quite some time to get him out of the dungeon, and I had to be really patient.

Use Jahiera till you get out. She has more healing spells that could come in handy. Pretty cosy just the two of you.

The only thing is that, on your own, the only way to disarm traps would be to set them off. You will not get XP for disarming traps/picking locks/learning spells. Some areas have locked doors for picking. Maybe you might want to think of one more character - a healer or thief perhaps
