| Is this a sound solo strategy? I just came up with a kinda cool (at least I think so) solo idea (and a relatively fresh one, if I'm not mistaken). I'm thinking of playing a Lawful Good solo Dwarf Barbarian.
Start in BGI (tutu) -- The tomes help so much. At least the physical ones (STR helps THAC0/damage, DEX actually increases AC (17-18 DEX), and CON grants regeneration. Higher amount of starting XP in SoA also helps in the beginning.
In BGII, concentrate on dual wielding, with ** in Long Swords, Bastard Swords, Katanas, and Flails (I'll have tons of proficiencies left over).
In Watcher's Keep, I'll be able to get the Purifier (Lawful Good). With that, and the Sword of Balduran I'll have a decent magic resistance. If I'm not fighting spellchuckers, I equip the Defender of Easthaven for more physical resistances.
When I get to ToB, my goals are on upgrading the Purifier for an additional 10% MR.
I'm choosing Dwarf for the better saving throws (I considered Half-Orc for the higher STR and DEX, but since this character is based on being able to take a beating I don't think it'll matter much).
After I think about it, maybe I'll go for Half-Orc instead. I'm not sure yet.
So, whatchya think?
