    [​IMG] How about roleplaying the game using a Wizard Slayer Kit as the main character. Imagine his discomfort (at the least) with the mage NPC's including Imoen. From a game point-of-view its gonna be tough since the roleplay will have to justify mages in the party. And besides, the main baddy is a mage! :)

    Just haven't seen anyone mention playing a wizard slayer so far. Hope you consider it, Black Rose. Whatever you decide, have fun! :roll:

    Everyone comes with existing people. Why not just create them all by yourself. I play a Thief only party with 4 thiefs (pure thief, fighter/thief, cleric/thief and illusionist/thief) I think it's kinda original. You can create all characters in Multiplayer. You can start a multiplayer and convert it to a single player game, if you don't know how that goes, just ask for it,m we will explain. So make all characters by yourself, make a good team!

    Shapeshifter central
    Group - pc and NPC all shapeshifters
    Concept - who says that vampires will rule the world someday? Shapeshifters will.

    Barbarians vs civilization
    Group - all barbarians
    Concept - Hack and slash your way through all of Faerun returning it to a state of cityless nature. By taking down Irenicus and Bodhi, you can then turn your attention to removing the magical and truly deviant in nature (vamps, shapeshifters, etc.) Last thing in Chapter Six before going to Suldenssalar, kill everyone in Athkala - you won't be needing them anymore anyway.

    How evil can you be?
    Group/PC - all evil or solo evil
    Concept - can the game be played truly maniacally - kill every living thing that you come across in the game as soon as you no longer need it? Reputation be damned.

    How low can you go?
    Concept - can you play through the entire game with a reputation lower than 6? First thing would be to get it that low in the first place.

    The Spanish Inquisition! A group of 3 or 4 Inquisitors that destroy every mage, regardless of alignment. Try that

    Nalia's aunty's soldiers

    A group made entirely by yourself.
    Purpose: To treat anyone of not noble blood as dirt or worse.

    Heh.. would you guys be cool with an Anti-Magic group?

    Purpose- to rid Amn of magic!

    Characters-

    Human Inquisitor (mage bane, wields Carsomyr)
    Half-Orc Wizard Slayer (mage bane part II)
    Half-Orc Barbarian (rage.. high HP..)
    Human Monk (to add some spice)
    Valygar (foul magic seems to be his favorite line)

    Great idea, and playing with only 4 characters is cool, you level up earlier and you make the game a bit harder for yourself. Good luck with it, it's a great idea. WHat alignment will you play?

    [​IMG] Plus you get this feeling of "tightness" when you play with four characters, it's a good number to play with. Then you go back to six and you feel weighted down. Still haven't soloed yet, but I will.

    I know you guys are drunk often, Big B and Headbanger. But there are five not four adventures.

    I know, I know he might have made an edit.

    But anyway: :p :p :p :p

    EDITED HERE: That was four smilies not five.

    I just found out that running a party with 6 People slows my comp down to a crawl. I need a good idea for a 1/2/3 Person party. I was considering a Mage/Thief, Fighter/Cleric, Archer
    So, i need ideas!
    Or Maybe Ranger/Cleric and Fighter/Druid and Mage/Thief. I don't like Fighter/Thieves - HP prob there

    Running a party of six shouldn't slow your computer down as much as highly intensive graphics will, at least in my experience. Try adjusting your Options settings.

    Good point, i'll fix the settings. But still, i want a 3 person party :)
     
  20. Play the game as you normally would, but with one major difference: delete all your auto-saves, and never save even if you really have to. In other words, if you really screwed up bad, or died, you don't get another chance (unless you started over again).
    Hmmm . . . That really makes me think. No taking on any incredibly hard characters unless you're sure you can beat 'em. You'd be sure not to piss off Mae'var or attack Bloodscalp.

    SPOILER


    And if you die on in Hell, well . ., that's just sorry :evil:.
