Since there's a few us doing one and others who have done them I was thinking about an "ultimate" no reloads, making it as hard as possible with the inclusion and exclusion of certain mods and perameters. Like for instance you would have to
1) Tactics, Insane... a given 2) Include the Solaufein mod and go through his 3 battles. 3) The ridiculous Improved Faldorn and Improved Shadow Thieves mods. 4) No Item upgrade mod 5) No ease of use mod 6) Romance a NPC that becomes abducted by a certain baddie along with Solaufein 7) Improved Battles Cheats, I mean mod. It's kinda buggy though. I don't know, it sounds pretty far fetched but I was just reaching for the impossible. Any thoughts?

Isn't that kind of enemy-use-cheese-to-where-it-becomes-boring stuff boring?

Here's my next no reloads plan:
Solo FMC with these rules (limitations): I will not use: Wands of anything, Cloak of Cheese, Shield of Balduran, Shield of Reflection, Vhailor's Helm, Improved Kitthix, Boots of Preservation (only for countering Shatter Magic) I will use: Robe of Vecna, Staff of The Magi (but not for disrupting the spell caster if you reequip and become invisible) I will not use scrolls: Prot. from Undead, Prot. from Magic (maybe in Ascension battle! heh, if I get there ) I will not use spells: Mislead, Project Image I have already rolled his numbers (yeah, it took me 10 minutes) 18/45, 18, 18, 13, 18, 7 I think Ilyich will be very hard! I already played a little and when I fought my first Duergar Proletariat, I summoned a skeleton for a decoy. He destroyed it faster (in 3 hits) before I made one swing at him.

As for the duergar, my tried and true tactic was to Dire Charm the fighter and send him after the mage (or the other fighter if more than the two showed up). Of course, I'm only playing on Normal, not Insane. One suggestion I would offer against the Proletariats would be to cast Grease to slow him down. That saves your higher level spells for better uses (and - unlike Dire Charm - there is no Save vs Grease). Then, while the dwarf is slowed in his approach, fill him full of arrows. When he does reach you, at least he will be injured. The mages are very easy to beat solo. Just wait for their protections to go down, then cast Stinking Cloud. The only serious problem comes if they manage to cast their Spider Spawn spell, but again, being a fighter AND a cleric will give you an advantage against them that I didn't have. BTW, what race will your character be?

Hey, thanks for the advice, Cerek. One good solution for mages is also Silence spell, which has -5 penalty for saves!
Oh, and I also tried running around and hitting the Duergar with sling and it took me 22 bullets to kill him! That includes the ones when I missed. So I believe I will fight mostly with magic and that is very tricky because when you rest you go back to square 1. I think the only possible race for FMC is Half-elf.
