Drizzt killed SOLO in 10 seconds (no hacks, mods, summons, cheats or cheese)
- Multiclass: Fighter/Mage 7/7
- Equiped: Knave's Robe (protects against Drizzt's scimitars), Gauntlets of Weapon Expertise, Helm of Balduran, Golden Girdle, Ring of Protection +2, Large Shield +2, Cloak of Balduran, Staff Mace (+2 to attack rolls against chainmail, which Drizzt wears)
- Memorized spells: Protection from Evil (stackable), Blur, Mirror Image, Haste, Improved Invisibility (+4 to attack rolls)
- Potions: Potion of Defense, Potion of Cloud Giant Strength, Potion of Mind Focusing (as many as needed), Potion of Power
- Character: AC -26 (maybe more if PfE has been stacked), THAC0 0 (minimum reachable, but attack rolls get +6 so it makes THAC0 -6 actually), HP (useless Drizzt won't be able to touch, and even if he does Mirror Image, pawned)
- Drizzt: AC -15, THAC0 -9, HP ~100
Are Fighter/Mages too OP?

Cheese? No, but stacked odds yes.
Someone suggest a video capturing software to me, and I'll video it.

Wait. Are you going to console kill him? :P
And no, what I'm going to do is 100% legit. Cheesy maybe, but legit.
Edit: Spoiler tags so it doesn't get ruined. :P
- My sorcerer with 4 spells: Stoneskin+Mirror Image+Fireshield Blue+Fireshield Red
Drizzt dies while I am looking at sky. Maybe 7-8 seconds.
Ruining it isn't fun :P

Drizzt goes red at second 14, dead at 15 ends you get the death message.
Maybe traps are OP?
Edit:
I realize the quality is terrible, but I got tired of youtube taking forever to upload so I made the video sucky.
But that is cheese, because...How many times did you rest? And Drizzt doesn't go away
I did say it was cheesy :P Just that it was "legit" and by legit in that use I meant non hacking / modding
@delgato
Haha! Thanks!
Charname: Oh, just in case another hoard of gnolls comes rampaging through and I am not around to save your ass again
Drizzt: oh, smart thinking.
Charname: Nice swords btw.
Drizzt: They are amazing weapons, probably the best weapons you'll ever see.
Charname: Yep.**throws stone at Drizzt**
Drizzt: Hey oww that hurt, I am going to kick the crap out. . . oh crap.
**splat**
Charname: Yep nice swords indeed.
Werebears. Problem solved.
Drizzt has become a kind of trophy hunting! I can already guess how many people have a space for his head on their fireplace!
Stop giving stupid balance ideas. If you can kill him with your first level mage, good for you, leave balance issue alone.
You have a lv 14 CHARNAME, with the best gear in the game and drank of potions of badassitude.
What did u expect ?
Personally I'd say that it is a game where you are supposed to have fun. In case of multiplay then make sure that you are all on the same page about how much (or how little) you go into character. In case of singleplayer I'd say do whatever you want.
I would like to say however that I tink it is ridiculous to dramatically change gameplay by fx. removing xp cap and then complaint when things are too easy.
Killing Drizzt or Shandalar in x seconds doesn't really impress me because it's not my gaming mentality. But it may still be impressive to someone who plays in a similar way, or just interesting to try the same strategy and try to beat the record. And really, there are sillier records in the world than beating characters in games as fast or as efficiently as possible.
And they won't learn any better without a bit of ridicule...
