"Order of the stick" No-Reload Run for IWD?

PsicoVic

This summer vacation I have some free time, so I want to try something: A no-reload, no min-max run with a party not planned by me, but based in the characters of the webcomics "Order of the Stick" from Giant in the playground with SCS, 3.5 rules and Scales´ of balance stat overhaul.




Elan CG Male Human bard (Trust me, he has to be a jester)
12 STR 14 DEX 11CON 16 INT 7 Wis 18 CHA

Roy Greenhilt LG Male Human Fighter
16 STR 16 DEX 12 CON 14 INT 12 WIS 12 CHA

Durkon Thundershield LG Male Dwarf Cleric
13 STR 11 DEX 16 CON 11 INT 17 WIS 10 CHA

Starshine CN Female Human Rogue
11 STR 16 DEX 17 CON 13 INT 13 WIS 18 CHA


Belkar Bitterleaf CE Male Halfling Ranger
17 STR 16 DEX 14 CON 16 INT 6 WIS 10 CHA RE:Goblins CS: DW

Vaarsubius LN ???? Elf Wizard
12 STR 16 DEX 15 CON 18 INT 16 WIS 10 CHA


The bold stats are changed because the characters of the webcomic stated that those are the canon values of cha, wis, etc.

Also, Belkar must have a level of barbarian somewhere along the run (I think I am going to pick barbarian in lvl2 outside Kuldahar and go barbarian all the way).




Edit: Changed Stats

Roy's INT is much higher than 9. See, e.g.

Vaarsuvius's CHA is comparatively low. See

Thanks, I will change that!

@PsicoVic , I've done this before, and it's a lot of fun. I did an OotS run in Baldur's Gate once, as well. The OotS party is a surprisingly strong party for the infinity engine games, especially if you make Belkar a barbarian, which he dualed into fairly early on in the comic.

Those stats are 3rd edition stats, and they're very high for third edition. You absolutely have to convert those 3rd edition bonuses into equivalent 2nd edition bonuses to make them as they should be. For example, Roy's 16 strength gives him +3 to attack and damage.

Someone did it before me, and made a custom set of portraits for it.

Here's my OotS minimal reload run. I ended it when Roy got killed by an Ankheg in Shandalar's Ice Maze.

wow thx! I had a little problem with the mod overhaul 3.5 so my campaign is a little stalled, but this is pure gold.
