No-Reload Fully Random Party

Member Posts: 45
Hi everyone, In this thread i'd like to share with you my progress with my First no-reload challenge. I will run a full party, but completely random. Just a few rules before characters creation:
- I' going to use a virtual dice roller, so every option in char creation will have a single number coresponding to it
- Ability scores: I will roll a d20 and roll scores only that amount of times.
- After the roll I can switch max 5 pts but cannot lower any score under 8
- The only non-random part of the chars will be weapon prof. choice.
Ok, let's see what happens....

Well, what to say...lets go with brute force...no arcane/divine magic, it will be hard.
Soon I will post images of the chars and the first steps throu the game

After reaching Easthaven, the group found some rest at the Winter's Cradle Tavern. Unfortunately Grisella, the innkeeper, tells them she's ran out of any drink due to a trouble with some scarabs. Rupert the Cavalier offers his help and the tavern is again free from the infestation.
Hrothgar, the "city manager" offers the group a job. There's an expedition to Kuldahar and he needs mercenaries of valor to solve a problem that afflicts the town of the big tree. But before leaving Easthaven there's a missing caravan to find just outside the village.
The six decide to explore Easthaven before adventuring into the snowy mountains.
Apsel quest
Old Jeb quest
Jhonen quest
Damien quest
Rupert and Delilah almost Ford hit by 2 arrows, but they survived.
After a resting at Quimby's Inn the group is ready to begin the search of the caravan.
In a cruel fight inside the caverns, Rose first followed by Rupert fall hit by orc's arrows. Survivors retreat to Easthaven to sell some junk and see if the local temple can do something for dead companions.

We do IWD no-reloads in there as well as BG Trilogy and SoD no-reloads.
That forum gets a lot more traffic, so you'd get more reads and feedback from other no-reload players.
Of course that said, people are welcome to post runs wherever they want. There's a whole subforum labeled "Challenges and Playthroughs", as well as the occasional run threads that pop up here, and in the separated BG1 and BG2 forums.
For me, I feel like if I'm going to do the work of taking screen shots and writing updates, I want to post them where they have the best chance of getting read and responded to.
I also love that insane gnome couple...
I know from experience that no arcane is possible. I did a dwarf run before and it was just fine. Just identifying was annoying. But no divine means no healing...I'd personally say that you should be allowed to switch the paladin to cleric just so you don't go crazy doing potion runs or sleeping for months.
